I want to read the contents of a URL but don't want to "hang" if the URL is unresponsive. I've created a BufferedReader using the URL...
URL theURL = new URL(url);
URLConnection urlConn = theURL.openConnection();
urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
BufferedReader urlReader = new BufferedReader(newInputStreamReader(urlConn.getInputStream()));
...and then begun the loop to read the contents...
do
{
buf = urlReader.readLine();
if (buf != null)
{
resultBuffer.append(buf);
resultBuffer.append("\n");
}
}
while (buf != null);
...but if the read hangs then the application hangs.
Is there a way, without grinding the code down to the socket level, to "time out" the read if necessary?

I think URLConnection.setReadTimeout is what you are looking for.
