Connection and connection request timeout

Question

I am using Http Apache Components to perform the http interactions. I need to adjust my http client. For this purpose I have two parameters: connection timeout and connectio

From the documentation:

/**
 * Returns the timeout in milliseconds used when requesting a connection
 * from the connection manager. A timeout value of zero is interpreted
 * as an infinite timeout.
 * 

 * A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.
 * A negative value is interpreted as undefined (system default).
 * 
 * 

 * Default: {@code -1}
 * 
 */
public int getConnectionRequestTimeout() {
    return connectionRequestTimeout;
}

/**
 * Determines the timeout in milliseconds until a connection is established.
 * A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.
 * 

 * A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.
 * A negative value is interpreted as undefined (system default).
 * 
 * 

 * Default: {@code -1}
 * 
 */
public int getConnectTimeout() {
    return connectTimeout;
}

This is how the code should look:

HttpClientBuilder clientBuilder = HttpClientBuilder.create();
RequestConfig.Builder requestBuilder = RequestConfig.custom();
// Connection Timeout to establish a connection
requestBuilder = requestBuilder.setConnectTimeout(connectTimeoutMillis);
// Timeout to get a connection from the connection manager for the Http Client
requestBuilder = requestBuilder.setConnectionRequestTimeout(requestTimeoutMillis);
// Timeout between two data packets from the server
requestBuilder = requestBuilder.setSocketTimeout(requestTimeoutMillis);
clientBuilder.setDefaultRequestConfig(requestBuilder.build());
CloseableHttpClient httpClient = clientBuilder.build();
