http connection time out

Hi all,

in my application i send a request to a server and then wait for the response and once i get the response i process it. in a case where any exception occurs at the server side and i don't receive a response back, my application hangs at the

httpConnection.openInputStream();

i want to give a time out for the connection ie, if the application does not recieve any response within the specified time i want to close the connection. What can i do for that?

please help.
