get

org.apache.http.HttpClientConnection get(long timeout,
                                         TimeUnit timeUnit)
                                         throws InterruptedException,
                                                ExecutionException,
                                                ConnectionPoolTimeoutException

Obtains a connection within a given time. This method will block until a connection becomes available, the timeout expires, or the connection manager is shut down. Timeouts are handled with millisecond precision. If Cancellable.cancel() is called while this is blocking or before this began, an InterruptedException will be thrown.

Parameters:

timeout - the timeout, 0 or negative for no timeout

timeUnit - the unit for the timeout, may be null only if there is no timeout

Returns:

a connection that can be used to communicate along the given route

Throws:

ConnectionPoolTimeoutException - in case of a timeout

InterruptedException - if the calling thread is interrupted while waiting

ExecutionException
