I was working with some code that does URL.openStream(). Looks like if this
can get to the host of the URL, it then insists on reading from it. I have
cases where it gets to the host, but the socket read never returns (blocked
forever in java.net.SocketInputStream.read()). So, I thought I'd try having
a timeout, where some other thread sends the blocked thread an interrupt().
A test program proved that Thread.interrrupt() (and various others) aren't
implemented (the methods are there, but they throw NoSuchMethodError). Any
idea when these will be there? In the interum, how can I get a thread to
stop what it's doing, when it's blocked in someone elses code? I had hoped
I could interrupt() it, catch this in an exception handler...
BTW: this is with Beta1.0 on WinNT.
