Hi,
I'm testing some result from HttpClient that looks irrational. It seems that setting CoreConnectionPNames.CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 1 has no effect because send request to different host return successfully with connect timeout 1 which IMHO can't be the case (1ms to setup TCP handshake???)
Am I misunderstood something or is something very strange going on here?
The httpclient version I'm using as can be seen in this pom.xml is
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
<version>4.0.1</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>
Here is the code:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Random;
import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpUriRequest;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.params.CoreConnectionPNames;
import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
public class TestNodeAliveness {
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(TestNodeAliveness.class);
public static boolean nodeBIT(String elasticIP) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {
try {
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
// The time it takes to open TCP connection.
client.getParams().setParameter(CoreConnectionPNames.CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, 1);
// Timeout when server does not send data.
client.getParams().setParameter(CoreConnectionPNames.SO_TIMEOUT, 5000);
// Some tuning that is not required for bit tests.
client.getParams().setParameter(CoreConnectionPNames.STALE_CONNECTION_CHECK, false);
client.getParams().setParameter(CoreConnectionPNames.TCP_NODELAY, true);
HttpUriRequest request = new HttpGet("http://" + elasticIP);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if(entity == null) {
return false;
} else {
System.out.println(EntityUtils.toString(entity));
}
// Close just in case.
request.abort();
} catch (Throwable e) {
log.warn("BIT Test failed for " + elasticIP);
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
return true;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {
nodeBIT("google.com?cant_cache_this=" + (new Random()).nextInt());
}
}
Thank you.
