Java URLConnection Timeout

Try this:

       import java.net.HttpURLConnection;       URL url = new URL("http://www.myurl.com/sample.xml");       HttpURLConnection huc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();       HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(false);       huc.setConnectTimeout(15 * 1000);       huc.setRequestMethod("GET");       huc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)");       huc.connect();       InputStream input = huc.getInputStream();

OR

       import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;       Document doc = null;       try {           doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.myurl.com/sample.xml").get();       } catch (Exception e) {           //log error       }

And take look on how to use Jsoup: http://jsoup.org/cookbook/input/load-document-from-url

You can manually force disconnection by a Thread sleep. This is an example:

URLConnection con = url.openConnection();con.setConnectTimeout(5000);con.setReadTimeout(5000);new Thread(new InterruptThread(con)).start();

then

public class InterruptThread implements Runnable {    HttpURLConnection con;    public InterruptThread(HttpURLConnection con) {        this.con = con;    }    public void run() {        try {            Thread.sleep(5000); // or Thread.sleep(con.getConnectTimeout())        } catch (InterruptedException e) {        }        con.disconnect();        System.out.println("Timer thread forcing to quit connection");    }}

You can set timeouts for all connections made from the jvm by changing the following System-properties:

System.setProperty("sun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout", "10000");System.setProperty("sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout", "10000");

Every connection will time out after 10 seconds.

Setting 'defaultReadTimeout' is not needed, but shown as an example if you need to control reading.
