Is it possible to read from a Java InputStream with a timeout?

I noticed that when I was trying to read in more information then was sent to my server, the web browser would freeze. I saw that my socket froze, since the web browser was returning less information then it was trying to read. Is there a way to set out a time out on Currtly I’m using a input stream

public String ReadLine()
 {
    String out;
    out="";
     // read in one line
     try{
         request = new StringBuffer(1000);
        boolean f=true;
        while(true)
        {
            int c=in.read();
            if (c=='\r') 
                {
                // next should be a \n
  // Program freezed hear
                 c=in.read();
                if (f==true)
                    return "";
                 break;
                }
            f=false;
            out=out+(char)c;

            request.append((char)c);
                } // end while

     } catch(IOException ec)
        {
            System.out.println(ec.getMessage());    
        }

        System.out.println(request);


    return out; 
 }

Socket.setSoTimeout() or HttpURLConnection.setReadTimeout().
