Mechanize Timeout

[Jose Espinoza]

Hello.

i have a code like this

        MechanizeAgent agent = new MechanizeAgent();  

        Document page=agent.get(url);

        Forms forms=page.forms();

        Form form=forms.get(0);

        form.get("q").set(query);

        Resource response=form.submit();

and my question is, i need to set a connection timeout because sometimes mechanize just stuck ...

Thanks very much!

Hi Jose,

Of course I'm interested in how mechanize might get stuck... but the answer to your question is to set the timeout on the instance of HttpClient in use.

DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();

HttpParams params = httpClient.getParams();

params.setConnectionTimeout(httpParams, connectionTimeoutMillis);

params.setSoTimeout(httpParams, socketTimeoutMillis);

MechanizeAgent agent = new MechanizeAgent(httpClient);   

That constructor argument allows you to control the underlying http communication as needed.

Cheers

John

Thank you so much John.

Your answer was very helpful.
For example if it get ban from a website the get method just stuck waiting for response for ever, i dont know why but it happens...
