Hi there, Timeout settings in your code appear correct. Basically socket reads _should_ timeout, provided the value of transferTimeout is sane. For the lack of better ideas I can only recommend you:
(1) upgrade to 2.0rc3 release. Better yet, upgrade to the latest CVS HTTPCLIENT_2_0_BRANCH snapshot (which is quite likely to be the 2.0 final). We've just recently fixed a minor bug with socket timeouts in persistent connections. I do not think you are affected by this bug, but just to be on the safe side (2) Try setting timeout to a ridiculously low value just to see whether read timeouts work at all in your environment. (3) Give JVM 1.4.2 a shot to see if that makes any difference (especially if you are using SSL. Older JSSE implementations seem to have an issue with socket timeouts) (4) Please introduce yourself. I kind of dislike 'hi there' greetings ;-) Oleg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 15:06 To: Commons HttpClient Project Subject: Re: Question on Timeouts Hello, Thank you for your e-mail...I'm confused a bit, though, as you said: <quote> Try specifying an SO_TIMEOUT in milliseconds via HttpClient.setTimeOut() method. </quote> But, we're already doing this, no? > client.setTimeout (transferTimeout * 1000); And we're still seeing threads hung indefinitely in socketRead.....now, someone else responded saying that I should also include this: <quote> HttpClient().getHostConfiguration().setHost(HOSTNAME, 80,"http" ); where hostname is something like that "www.blabla.com" </quote> I'm going to try that, but any other thoughts on why this is hanging indefinitely?

Otherwise, it will default to whatever is the default SO_TIMEOUT on your platform. BTW, does anyone have a compilation / list of the defautl SO_TIMEOUT values for each platform ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
