Hi Prasad,
I am trying to implement a "fetch timeout" feature using the http client. Basically it means that if I have not received a complete response within "n" seconds then I need to return a fetch timeout. Is there any built in mechanism in HttpClient for this or do I need to have a monitor thread that calls HttpMethod.abort() after the timeout period (if the method has not finished execution). What would be the result of calling the abort method on the worker thread? (what exceptions etc..). Please advise if there are any better ways to implement the same.
HttpMethod.abort() is the way to go. You will need to keep track of the execution time and abort the methods from a separate thread. Calling abort will most likely cause an IOException but it depends where exactly the method is in the process of execution.
