-Dsun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout

Specifies the default value for the connect timeout for the protocol handlers used by the java.net.URLConnection class.

-Dsun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout=<value in milliseconds>

The default value set by the protocol handlers is -1, which means that no timeout is set.

When a connection is made by an applet to a server and the server does not respond properly, the applet might seem to hang. The delay might also cause the browser to hang. The apparent hang occurs because there is no network connection timeout. To avoid this problem, the Java™ Plug-in has added a default value to the network timeout of 2 minutes for all HTTP connections. You can override the default by setting this property.
