Setting connection timeout

You can use the Http#setTimeout method to define the maximum number of milliseconds to wait when establishing a connection to an HTTP server. Failure to establish a connection within the maximum time allowed will result in a HttpException.

Example

// create new HttpRequest

HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest("http://www.myserver.com");

// create new Http instance

Http http = new Http();

// set timeout to 5 seconds

http.setTimeout(5000);

// get response

HttpResponse response = http.getResponse(request);
