I'm trying to use Java's HttpURLConnection to do a “conditional get”, but I never get a 304 status code

Question

Here is my code:

    final HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) sourceURL.openConnection();
    if (cachedPage != null) {
        if (cachedPage.eTag         


        

Answer 1

Or shorter :)

Just try set connection timeout other than 0.

conn.setConnectionTimeout( 3000);

Do it after .openConnection()

final HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) sourceURL.openConnection();
conn.setConnectionTimeout( 3000);

If not set also readTimeout other than 0.

conn.setReadTimeout( 3000);
