Timeout in HTTP

Hello !
	First of all I am new to this list. I have a doubt that seems easy
to answer. What is the default timeout setting value to HTTP Connections ? I
mean, after how many seconds is the HTTPTimeoutException thrown during a GET
operation ?

Thank you !

"forever" means "until the server is bored and closes the connection" :-)

I am assuming you are talking about SO_TIMEOUT set via 
HttpClient.setTimeout().  This is the amount of time to wait when 
reading on an open socket.  This defaults to 0 which means that it will 
wait forever.
