HttpClient Reading Partial Response

[Manish Moorjani <Ma...@infosys.com>]

Hi,

I am using HttpClient for automatic login into third Party Applications and then fetching the page and displaying it to the end user.

The page I am trying to fetch queries the database based on a search key and fetches more than 2000 records to display on the screen.

I am using the following code to fetch the response

StringBuffer sReply =new StringBuffer("");
InputStream rbas = method.getResponseBodyAsStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader (rbas, "UTF8" /* "UTF8" */);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (isr);
    while ((temp = (br.readLine())) != null) {
            sReply.append(temp+ "\r\n");
        }
        String strReply=sReply.toString();
method.releaseConnection();
br.close();
isr.close();
rbas.close();
}

But as the response is large sometimes the request times out before the response is obtained.
Is there a way possible to read partial responses and displaying them on the screen ???
Or the only option is to set the timeout time to max possible ?

One more thing the records are fetched quite fast when I directly access the url

Hello Manish,

What you're doing here looks good.  It sounds like you're getting a 
socket read timeout which is caused by a large delay when reading the 
response.  I'm not sure what you mean by "read partial responses".  The 
only options I can think of are setting the SO_TIMEOUT to a higher 
value, or working on the server side to increase its performance.
