Here's the code

HttpPost hPost = new HttpPost(url); StringEntity se = new StringEntity(envelope,HTTP.UTF_8); hPost.setEntity(se);

HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams(); // Set the timeout in milliseconds until a connection is established. int timeoutConnection = 3000; HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutConnection); // Set the default socket timeout (SO_TIMEOUT) // in milliseconds which is the timeout for waiting for data. int timeoutSocket = 3000; HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket);

DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters); BasicHttpResponse httpResponse = (BasicHttpResponse) httpclient.execute(hPost);

HttpEntity entity = httpResponse.getEntity(); return entity;
