thanks Michael, I got it resolved last night... you are right, it is more
like a HttpClient issue after I tried another link unrelated to solr. If
anyone is interested, here is the working code:
HttpClientParams httpClientParams = new HttpClientParams();
httpClientParams.setSoTimeout(timeout);
// set connection parameters
HttpConnectionManagerParams httpConnectionMgrParams = new
HttpConnectionManagerParams();
httpConnectionMgrParams.setConnectionTimeout(timeout); // connection
// timeout
HttpConnectionManager httpConnectionMgr = new
SimpleHttpConnectionManager();
httpConnectionMgr.setParams(httpConnectionMgrParams);
// create httpclient
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(httpClientParams,
httpConnectionMgr);
HttpMethod method = new GetMethod(solrReq);
thanks
Renee
