Connection timed out. Why?

by

Things you should look at:

  • can you ping the host?
  • can you connect to http://www.verisign.com using a web browser?
  • can you connect to https://www.verisign.com using a web browser?
  • can you connect to http://www.verisign.com using your program?
  • can you connect to anything using your program?

The chances are that your problem is firewall related. My first guess would be that you don’t have the correct environment variables or Java system properties set to tell the JVM to use a local proxy server for outgoing HTTP / HTTPS requests.
