I've set both Timeout and ReadWriteTimeout of HttpWebRequest, and still GetRequestStream does not time out when trying to connect to a non-existent server.

Payment not received should be equal to not authorized, shouldn't it? EDIT:I would like to know the answers on a "Why 402 is required when we already have 403" angle. ...

Hi, I'm developing a wrapper around an existent RESTful API. I basically have to do some preprocessing, calling the underlying API, and some preprocessing, with a little bit of cache in the middle.

When the small form is submitted, in the OnClick of the button, I'm storing the values from the small form in the session, then Response.Redirect the user to the...
Here's some code: Client client = new Client(Protocol.HTTP); client.setConnectTimeout(1); //milliseconds Response response = client.post(url, paramRepresentation); System.out.println("timed out"); What I would expect to happen is that it prints "timed out" before the resource has time to process. Instead, nothing happens with the tim...
