I have a problem with Google App Engine timing out when I preform a post request to a specified URL. When I do a test request over at hurl.it, it works perfectly fine. When I run the code in a local server, runs perfectly fine. When I deploy it to Google App Engine and test it online, it times out no matter how much timeout limit I give it (tested up to 1 minute). I have no clue what's causing it to bug out online and not locally. Here's the code and the stack trace I get when it errors out:
package com.servlet.thing;

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws IOException {

HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
//URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
con.setConnectTimeout(60000);
// Doesn't get past here online
resp.getWriter().println("connected");
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
resp.getWriter().println("checkpoint 1");
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(con.getOutputStream());
writer.write("username=TestPromotionAcc&password=" + PASS);
writer.flush();
writer.close();
resp.getWriter().println("checkpoint 2");
HashMap<String, List<String>> map = (HashMap<String, List<String>>) con.getHeaderFields();
if (con.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK || con.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_NOT_FOUND) {
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
String line;
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
response.append(line);
}
System.out.println("--- HEADER FIELDS ---\n");
for (Map.Entry<String, List<String>> entry : map.entrySet()) {
if (entry.getKey().equalsIgnoreCase("set-cookie")) {
System.out.println("Value : " + entry.getValue());
resp.getWriter().println("Set cookies: " + entry.getValue());
}
}
reader.close();
System.out.println(response.toString());
} else {
resp.getWriter().println(con.getResponseCode() + ": " + con.getResponseMessage());
}
}
}
And here's the stack trace:
