In the "doInBackground" function of a AsyncTask, I got the following piece of code :
try
{
URL url = new URL(myUrl);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setReadTimeout(10000);
conn.setConnectTimeout(15000);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoInput(true);
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator(){
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication ("myUsername", "myPassword".toCharArray());
}
});
conn.connect();
int response = conn.getResponseCode();
inputStream = conn.getInputStream();
String content = convertInputStreamToString(inputStream);
return content;
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
When the credentials are ok, everything works fine and the ResponseCode is 200. But if I put the wrong credentials, getResponseCode() makes the AsyncTask wait for an answer indefinitely (timeout won't work). Looking at HttpUrlConnection object tells me that the ResponseCode is -1.
I need to handle every situation, even if the user provides a bad credential. How can I get an usable answer? Should I use another class than HttpUrlConnection?
