Description

I encountered a release build getting stuck. Stack trace revealed that the culprit was an infinite default timeout in URLConnection.

The simple fix is to call setConnectTimeout and setReadTimeout with some sensible default value (jdk 1.5 methods, so might need to use reflection to preseve jdk 1.4 compatibility).
