java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

[Ulvi Cetin]

I am getting java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect on an HttpURLConnection. Is this caused by a slow internet connection? Is there a way to set the timeout to a longer time?

Thx.

I could be caused by mispelled URL or unreachable destination host. Could you post your code?

[Ulvi Cetin]

The code executes 9 out of 10 times, but once in a while, I get this connection timeout exception. I am guessing it is caused by slow internet traffic, but not sure.

Hasn't this ever happened to you within a web browser? When you catch it, retry the connection. Problem solved.

[Ulvi Cetin]

Yes but this in an unattended software which runs in the middle of the nite. If this happens, there is no way I will notice it restart the program.

So? Why is that a problem? If it times out, try again and log it.
