[Httpunit-develop] Timeout

[Sean L. <Se...@in...>]

I realize the FAQ about timeouts says this:

How does HttpUnit handle request timeouts?
Badly. Unfortunately, through JDK 1.3, HttpURLConnection (used by HttpUnit
to access web servers) has no support for timeouts. Supposedly, this is
changed in JDK 1.4, but HttpUnit does not support the new feature as yet.
Form Handling Problems


However, I am using 1.4, and if you look here at this url
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/net/properties.html) they have
these parms:

sun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout (default: -1)
sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout (default: -1)
    These properties specify the default connect and read timeout (resp.)
for the protocol handler used by java.net.URLConnection.

    sun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout specifies the timeout (in
milliseconds) to establish the connection to the host. For example for http
connections it is the timeout when establishing the connection to the http
server. For ftp connection it is the timeout when establishing the
connection to ftp servers.

    sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout specifies the timeout (in
milliseconds) when reading from input stream when a connection is
established to a resource. 



Has anyone set these and got the results they expect? I'm trying to test
this, but either it's being ignored, or I'm trying to cause a timeout in an
incorrect way. It comes back with an error within a second. I'm just trying
to connect to my own box that has no web server running.


Thanks in advance,
