HttpUrlConnection and no read-timeout

It appears in 1.4.2 that you cannot specify a read timeout for
HttpUrlConnection. That means if my server restarts while a client is
trying to download its codebase jars that they client could end up
"hanging" indefinitely.

Does anyone now a quick and dirty way (i.e. not moving to JERI) that I
can either supplant HttpUrlConnection or specify a timeout so my clients
do not have the possibility of hanging forever during jar downloading?

TIA

R.
