How to prevent jsoup from retrying

Question

How do I effectively prevent jsoup from retrying to make a connection when the first try failed - for whatever reasons?

Which value for the timeout is appropriate?

Answer 1

Jsoup wont retry to connect if the first attempt fails. It will throw a ConnectException instead. In general you can keep the default timeout value (3 seconds).

Btw. what method are you using? parse() or connect() ? 2nd one is the better choice here.
