Hi all, first of all, beware this is experimental, but it works very well for me!
Today I implemented the HTTP request queueing that was necessary to have a more sophisticated buffering of outgoing HTTP requests when sms-services use get-url or post-url. By this feature the messages does not get lost if the corresponding HTTP server on the other side is down or return an error HTTP response code (ie. 500 for internal server error). This is very essential when you do forwarding of incoming sms messages to customers HTTP server and they require you not to drop the messages if the HTTP server is at the specific time smsbox tries to connect unavaialble. Ok, here is a description what is done: Added another List 'smsbox_http_requests' which represents the qeuue of failing HTTP requests to be retried. Withing 'url_result_thread' we identify failed HTTP requests and queue them using the extended 'remember_receiver' and 'get_receiver' mappers into the 'smsbox_http_requests'. The queue is consumed by the 'http_queue_thread' and injected into the HTTPCaller list again. BTW, the commited patch does not change current behaviour, which means by default HTTP request queueing inside smsbox is turned off. To activate the HTTP request queueing add the following config directives to the smsbox group: group = smsbox ... http-request-retry = 10 http-queue-delay = 10 which means try to resend every HTTP request 10 times in total and delay 10 sec. for every loop inside the queueing thread. See the user's guide for the config directives. Keep in mind that the queue is held in memory, hence don't mess with the retry and delay parameters. Please do update you test systems with the a fresh cvs snapshot and try the new feature, we need comments on this, please.
