Answer 1

The URL#openStream method is actually just a shortcut for openConnection().getInputStream(). Here is the code from the URL class:

public final InputStream openStream() throws java.io.IOException {
  return openConnection().getInputStream();
}

• You can adjust settings in the client code as follows:

  URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
  // setting timeouts
  conn.setConnectTimeout(connectTimeoutinMilliseconds);
  conn.setReadTimeout(readTimeoutinMilliseconds);
  InputStream in = conn.getInputStream();
  

Reference: URLConnection#setReadTimeout, URLConnection#setConnectTimeout

• Alternatively, you should set the sun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout and sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout system property to a reasonable value.
