http connection timeout issues

Question

I\'m running into an issue when i try to use the HttpClient connecting to a url. The http connection is taking a longer time to timeout, even after i set a connection timeoo

Not sure if this helps you, however I think it's worth sharing here. While playing with the timeout stuff I found there is a third timeout type you can assign:

// the timeout until a connection is established
private static final int CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 5000; /* 5 seconds */

// the timeout for waiting for data
private static final int SOCKET_TIMEOUT = 5000; /* 5 seconds */

// ----------- this is the one I am talking about:
// the timeout until a ManagedClientConnection is got 
// from ClientConnectionRequest
private static final long MCC_TIMEOUT = 5000; /* 5 seconds */

...

HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
setTimeouts(httpGet.getParams());

...

private static void setTimeouts(HttpParams params) {
    params.setIntParameter(CoreConnectionPNames.CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, 
        CONNECTION_TIMEOUT);
    params.setIntParameter(CoreConnectionPNames.SO_TIMEOUT, SOCKET_TIMEOUT);
    params.setLongParameter(ConnManagerPNames.TIMEOUT, MCC_TIMEOUT);
}
