Re: Help required - in setting the Socket Timeout - setSoTimeOut - HttpClient - commons

[Oleg Kalnichevski <ol...@apache.org>]

Raghavan,

I am not entirely sure I understood the problem. However, here's a few
general recommendations:

(1) Upgrade to HttpClient 2.0.1. 2.0a3 had a nasty bug you want fixed. 

PR #26500 - Socket timeout is now correctly set on open connections
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26500

(2) Per default socket timeout is disabled. If you do not explicitly set
SO_TIMEOUT value, your connection should never time out.

(3) If you do need to set SO_TIMEOUT, you should not directly manipulate
HttpConnection instances. HttpClient WILL OVERRIDE their properties per
each method execution. Use HttpClient#setTimeout() method instead.

Hope this helps

Oleg
