Default timeout for HttpComponent Client

Question

I can\'t find any documentation on the default httpParams for httpclient 4.1 ?

What\'s the default socket timeout when I do a GET ?

Answer 1

For Apache HttpClient version 4.x upwards

int timeout = 5*60; // seconds (5 minutes)
RequestConfig config = RequestConfig.custom()
      .setConnectTimeout(timeout * 1000)
      .setConnectionRequestTimeout(timeout * 1000)
      .setSocketTimeout(timeout * 1000).build();
HttpClient httpClient = 
   HttpClientBuilder.create().setDefaultRequestConfig(config).build();
