So thoughts based on the above.... you might put the reading in a thread and periodically check to see if the thread has stopped reading data (update a shared variable probably). If it has kill the connection and the thread and deal with it however you need to.

Another alternative is to not use the HTTPURLConnection and deal with the bits you need your self.
