Otis,
Nowhere in your code do I see you set socket timeout. Connection timeout
determines the time HttpClient spends waiting a connection to be
established. The connection timeout does not affect socket I/O
operations.
Try this:
_client.getHttpConnectionManager().getParams().setSoTimeout(5000);
Besides, we are just four bugs away from the first HttpClient 3.0 alpha
release when we formerly invite the users to review the new API. We'd be
more than interested to have your feedback.
Cheers,
Oleg
