Not possible to set socket lingering on with a socket linger time of 0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-599 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-599 Project: HttpComponents HttpClient Issue Type: Bug Components: HttpClient Affects Versions: 3.0.1 Environment: Windows XP, Sun JVM 1.5.0_07 Reporter: Neil Ferguson In version 3.0.1 of the Commons HTTP Client it is not possible to set socket lingering on, but with a socket linger time of 0. This may not appear to make much sense, but (certainly with the Sun JVM) this is used to force abortive connection release (see: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/net/articles/connection_release.html). In the org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.open() method the following code is what prevents this: if (linger > 0) { socket.setSoLinger(linger > 0, linger); } I have changed this to: if (linger >= 0) { socket.setSoLinger(linger >= 0, linger); } However this changes the meaning of the http.socket.linger parameter, so this may not be the preferred solution. Perhaps turning socket lingering on and off needs to be configured independently of the socket linger time. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
