jsoup SocketTimeout Exception

Question

Jsoup is giving time out error. How can I fix this?

The line of code that gives error is

Document doc;
doc = Jsoup.connect("http://google.com").timeout(300000).get();

Exception I am getting is

Answer 1

I think you are behind a proxy. You can try the following if you know your proxy details:

System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "147.167.10.2");//replace with your proxy host
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080");//replace with your proxy port
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://google.com").get();
