Receiving request timeout even though connect timeout and read timeout is set to default (infinite)?

Question

I am connecting to a web service and did not set any connect timeout and read timeout on HttpURLConnection. What is the default connect timeout and read timeout? Is it dependent

Answer 1

The Javadoc for connect() is incorrect. Zero gives you the platform connect timeout, which is not infinite, but around a minute. You can only decrease this value with the timeout parameter to connect(), not increase it.
