HttpRequest times out

Question

I'm trying to do a get request from my app to my computer using the format my_ip:8888/msg/my_message When I open the connection it works but the execution never gets past the execute(request) part. It times out (1 minute to) before it does the get request. The request url is correct because I've tried directly on my pc browser. My android manifest has the internet permission. Here's the code

    private static JSONObject sendPetition(HttpUriRequest request) throws Exception{
        AndroidHttpClient client;

        HttpResponse response;
        JSONObject responseJSON;

        client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("IPM-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE");
        response=  client.execute(request);
        responseJSON = new JSONObject(EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()));
        client.close();
        return responseJSON;
    }

Setup: I'm using my android device and I'm trying to comunicate to my computer (port 8888). They are both in the same network.

using the format. Please tell exactly the url you use. Your code is not very usefull to debug this problem as the actions involved are hidden. If there is a timeout you will have exceptions or errors mentioned in the logcat. Please post. — greenapps
When I open the connection it works. What do you mean by that? What works? — greenapps
@greenapps Added the log so you can see the url and waht's going on in the app. — Álvaro

I think you should setting the timeout to your request, like this:

   private static JSONObject sendPetition(HttpUriRequest request) throws Exception{
        AndroidHttpClient client;
        int timeout = 5000

        HttpResponse response;
        JSONObject responseJSON;

        client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("IPM-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE");

        HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
        HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParams, timeout);
        HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParams, timeout);

        request.setParams(httpParams);

        response = client.execute(request);
        responseJSON = new JSONObject(EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()));
        client.close();
        return responseJSON;
    }
