How about using HttpURLConnection

import java.net.HttpURLConnection;

   URL url = new URL("http://mydomain/myfile.php");

   HttpURLConnection huc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
   HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(false);
   huc.setConnectTimeout(15 * 1000);
   huc.setRequestMethod("GET");
   huc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)");
   huc.connect();
   InputStream input = huc.getInputStream();

Timeout:

URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com");
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.connect();
conn.setReadTimeout(10000); //10000 milliseconds (10 seconds)
