I have a java application in which I download files using HttpURLConnection. I set 15 Seconds in connect timeout and 1 hour in read timeout properties. As per my understanding, if file on server is big enough to take more than 1 hour to download, it will fail with timeout exception. Works fine. The problem is, when I pull the Internet cable out from the client machine while download is in progress(reading buffer from InputStream), the download process does not terminates immediately, it takes 1 hour (read timeout) to break the download. Is there any way I can terminate the download process? Following is the source code:
public class HttpDownloadUtility {
private static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 4096;
public static void downloadFile(String fileURL, String saveDir)
throws IOException {
URL url = new URL(fileURL);
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
httpConn.setConnectTimeout(15*1000);
httpConn.setReadTimeout(60*60*1000);
int responseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode();
// always check HTTP response code first
if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
String fileName = "";
String disposition = httpConn.getHeaderField("Content-Disposition");
String contentType = httpConn.getContentType();
int contentLength = httpConn.getContentLength();
if (disposition != null) {
// extracts file name from header field
int index = disposition.indexOf("filename=");
if (index > 0) {
fileName = disposition.substring(index + 10,
disposition.length() - 1);
}
} else {
// extracts file name from URL
fileName = fileURL.substring(fileURL.lastIndexOf("/") + 1,
fileURL.length());
}
System.out.println("Content-Type = " + contentType);
System.out.println("Content-Disposition = " + disposition);
System.out.println("Content-Length = " + contentLength);
System.out.println("fileName = " + fileName);
// opens input stream from the HTTP connection
InputStream inputStream = httpConn.getInputStream();
String saveFilePath = saveDir + File.separator + fileName;
// opens an output stream to save into file
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(saveFilePath);
int bytesRead = -1;
byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
while ((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) { //This is where the download gets stuck on some connection issues
outputStream.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
outputStream.close();
inputStream.close();
System.out.println("File downloaded");
} else {
System.out.println("No file to download. Server replied HTTP code: " + responseCode);
}
httpConn.disconnect();
}
}
