What Exception is thrown on timeout?

Question

What Exception is thrown on connection timeout in HTMLUnit ?

Answer 1

HtmlUnit uses the Apache HttpClient. The timeout mechanism throws an InterruptedIOException.

See the HttpClient documentation.

This exception is a subclass of IOException, which can be thrown during any HttpClient execute call (basically whenever you get a page with an HtmlUnit WebClient.

Answer 2

I think there is a bug, it really should throw a exception but dont throw if you set an timeout great than a value, you can see it in (Call getPage from htmlunit WebClient with JavaScript disabled and setTimeout set to 10000 waits forever)

Thanks a lot
