KSOAP never timeout

Question

I\'m using ksoap2 2.5.4 (on Android 2.2) which supports timeout. I\'m using Apache 2.2.16 to handle my requests. Everything works fine, but when I shutdown my Apache (or dis

Answer 1

I'm having the same problem running ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.6-jar-with-dependencies. I would have assumed the ksoap timeout value that appears on HttpTransportSE would be equivalent to what you can accomplish using org.apache.http.client.HttpClient with connection timeout and socket timeout pamameters:

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpParams params = client.getParams(); HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, CONNECTION_TIMEOUT); HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, SOCKET_TIMEOUT);

I finally get a SocketException "the operation timed out" after ~3 minutes no matter what value I put in the timout parameter on HttpTransportSE. My server is running, its just not responding to the request.

Answer 2

This still seems to be an open issue with HttpTransportSE ignoring the timeout value in some situations. See related:

Answer 3

Use ksoap2 API version 2.5.2 or greater.

You can download that by clicking here

And use the following code while making object of HTTPTransport.

/**
 * Creates instance of HttpTransportSE with set url
 *
 * @param url
 *            the destination to POST SOAP data
 */
public HttpTransportSE(String url) {
    super(url);
}

/**
 * Creates instance of HttpTransportSE with set url
 *
 * @param url
 *            the destination to POST SOAP data
 * @param timeout
 *            timeout for connection and Read Timeouts (milliseconds)
 */
public HttpTransportSE(String url, int timeout) {
    super(url, timeout);
}

Have you downloaded the source and then compiled it? Or did you use a finished JAR file? Will test this tonight or early in the morning tomorrow.
