Setting timeout for Jodd HTTP client?

Question

I am using Jodd HTTP client for testing some REST APIs. Everything works fine (great, actually:) except I am not sure how to set the socket time out value. So sometimes, when server is not up, I need to wait for long time (because of default systems timeout is big).

I am using http request like this:

HttpResponse response = HttpRequest.get("http://server").query("p1", "v1")....send();

I do not see any timeout related method in HttpRequest class.

You have two options here.

The first way is actually described in the docs :) Anyway, the idea is to tweak the HttpConnection like this:

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.get()...;
request.open();
SocketHttpConnection httpConnection = (SocketHttpConnection) request.httpConnection();
Socket socket = httpConnection.getSocket();
socket.setSoTimeout(1000);
...
HttpResponse response = request.send();

However, since this is something often required, we added in latest version (not yet released) the timeout method, so in the future you would be able to set it just with:

httpRequest.timeout(1000);

Hope this helps.
