Hi All

I am facing this problem:
"when i try to read a remote xml file into a input stream [to be read and processed further] it says "connection timed out" . Alhough the same url works fine when i give it in the browser address bar.



The statement marked with ">>>" throws this error.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Anupam Bhatt

yeah behind a proxy but i have run small programs and tested that my programs get through the proxy easily.
So itz ruled out if there is a proxy blocking the data coming to inputstream.

Thanks for the reply Harald

does inputstream connect at some particular port or in the default http port[80]?
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi anupam,

Did you try setting the Proxy Ip and the port explicitly using either the System property in the code or the -D option?

System.setProperty( "proxySet", "true" );
System.setProperty( "http.proxyHost", proxyHostName );
System.setProperty( "http.proxyPort", Integer.toString( proxyHostPort ) );

Thanks Guyz,
I was finally able to authenticate to the proxy and get the inputstream for the xml smoothly.

Thanks for the help
