Comments on: Proper timeout handling with Apache HttpClient http://brian.olore.net/wp/2009/08/apache-httpclient-timeout/ Less of a story, more of a brain dump Sat, 07 Jan 2012 05:54:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: subdigit http://brian.olore.net/wp/2009/08/apache-httpclient-timeout/comment-page-1/#comment-592 subdigit Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:26:02 +0000 http://brian.olore.net/?p=86#comment-592 Ah, all those wrappers. Ok. Added them to my code. I was just catching a generic Exception before, but having the specific exception can be useful. Ah, all those wrappers. Ok. Added them to my code.

The SocketTimeoutException is thrown by HttpMethodBase on things like getResponseStreamAsBody() which throws an IOException which wraps an InterruptedException which wraps a SocketTimeoutException. Simple right? :)

I think there are a few more settings you can do within the connection manager and/or it's good for reuse - building multiple httpclient objects without needing to re-specify all the settings.

And what actually throws them? I can only seem to find that an HttpException gets thrown from within the .executeMethod.

Is setting the timeout at the HttpClient level as above: httpClient.getParams().setParameter("http.connection-manager.timeout", poolTimeout); the same thing as setting the timeout at the ConnectionManager level? connectionManager.getParams().setConnectionTimeout(poolTimeout); Does the manager automatically pass the parameters to the client as it creates the client? Dug through my old code. Is setting the timeout at the HttpClient level as above:

httpClient.getParams().setParameter(“http.connection-manager.timeout”, poolTimeout);

Does the manager automatically pass the parameters to the client as it creates the client?
