Description

There was a question on StackOverflow about how to set a timeout for URL.text

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1839435/setting-timeout-for-new-url-text-in-groovy-grails

I have attached a patch which allows you to do:

def s = new URL( 'http://www.google.com' ).getText( 10 )

(which will give you a 10 millisecond timeout on both the connection and read – and return null if this timeout fires)

No Tests Supplied

I have no idea how you would test this in a non-contrived way, I have looked around for a URL.text test and it seems that I would need to mock the URL class, but I can't think how to do the timeout testing with this object

Hope it's ok...
