Time out in HTMLFetcher

[neerajbhatt]

In HTMLDocument fetch(final URL url) there is no timeout. Ideally after creating final URLConnection conn = url.openConnection(); time out should be given. Please assign issue to me and I will send a pull request

Fetch HTML separately, and feed it in via the BoilerpipeSaxInput - you can have your own timeouts and use a pipeline.
