Mathias, It is a well known problem. In prehistorical times getResponseBody method has been made to silently discard I/O exceptions instead of propagating them back to the caller. We can't fix the problem without breaking the 2.0 API, so its resolution will have to wait until 3.0 release
We encourage HttpClient users to use getResponseBodyAsStream to process the response content for the time being Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Mathias Cianci [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 3:33 PM To: Commons HttpClient Project Subject: Re: timeout while waiting from reponse body ? Ok, so if I can ask stupid questions, I will not obstruct myself :o) Here is a light version of my code : HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); client.setTimeout(60000); HttpMethod method = null; try { method = new MyGetMethod(adresse); } catch(Exception e) { new Erreur("21;Erreur lors du d�codage de l'URL "+e.getMessage(), "Pas de code source", this); } // Execute the method. int statusCode = -1; // We will retry up to 3 times. for (int attempt = 0; statusCode == -1 && attempt < 3; attempt++) { try { statusCode = client.executeMethod(method); } catch (HttpRecoverableException e) { System.err.println("A recoverable exception occurred, retrying." + e.getMessage()); } catch (IOException e) { System.err.println("Failed to download file."); } } // Check that we didn't run out of retries. if (statusCode == -1) { System.err.println("Failed to recover from exception."); } // Read the response body. try { byte[] responseBody = method.getResponseBody(); leCode.set(new String(responseBody, this.getCodageUrl())); } catch (SocketTimeoutException e) { System.err.println("timeout error" + e.getMessage()); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("mauvais encodage"); } // Release the connection. method.releaseConnection(); The problem is that hte method.getReponseBody can't throw a SocketTimeoutException but that's this method who is giving me problems Kalnichevski, Oleg a �crit : >You are more than welcome to ask any kind of HttpClient related questions > >Oleg > >-----Original Message----- >From: Mathias Cianci [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 3:02 PM >To: Commons HttpClient Project >Subject: Re: timeout while waiting from reponse body ? > > >Thank you Oleg and excuse me for asking such questions. >I was searching with the TimeoutController class, and I've not seen the > >obvious answer. > >Kalnichevski, Oleg a �crit : > > > >>Setting socket timeout to a positive value will do the trick >> >>HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); >>client.setTimeout(60000); // 60 sec timeout >> >> *************************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
