Socket timeouts and value questions

[Jan Gonsalves]

I ran into a HttpClient hang at 3 this morning so I now call:
client.setConnectionTimeout(connTimeOut);
client.setTimeout(sockTimeOut);
What are reasonable values, I'm not waiting for the connection to finish 
correct, just waiting for valid data?  At first I was thinking it's 
going to wait for the connection to finish, which in some cases is 
upwards of 10 minutes, large data downloads.  But if it's just a period 
of time that nothing comes across the wire then I obviously wouldn't 
want to set it to that. 

Also, on a side NON HttpClient note.  I'm getting another Socket hang on 
the following non HttpClient line:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new 
InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));

Is there a way to set a socket timout here?  url is an FTP Url. 

Thanks.
