Hello Folks,
We are using HttpClient 4.2.5 and Our scenario is that there is only 1
instance of HTTP client throughout the JVM and only one connection pool
linked to client. The same client using the single connection pool
interacts with various http/https endpoints by creating a new method
instance for every request. For https based connections we have our own
implementation for socket connection factory, when we try to register a new
custom scheme using custom socket factory via local context, it is not
being picked by the client. It always tries to get the list of scheme
registries from connection manager even though we try to override at local
context level. We use local context to pass authentication information
which works perfectly fine however schemeregistry is not picked up.
AbstractHttpClient
protected HttpRoutePlanner createHttpRoutePlanner() {
return new DefaultHttpRoutePlanner(*getConnectionManager*
*().getSchemeRegistry()*);
}
Now that local context scheme registry is not picked up we tried
registering all the schemes at connection manager level with unique scheme
names and pass the respective scheme name in the HttpHost of the execute
method.
In the first pass route planner has the proper scheme name we set in the
HttpHost so it pickedup the proper socket factory
DefaultHttpRoutePlanner.determineRoute(HttpHost, HttpRequest, HttpContext)
line: 113
DefaultRequestDirector.determineRoute(HttpHost, HttpRequest, HttpContext)
line: 791
DefaultRequestDirector.execute(HttpHost, HttpRequest, HttpContext) line: 414
DefaultHttpClient(AbstractHttpClient).execute(HttpHost, HttpRequest,
HttpContext) line: 906
In the second pass the target it reconstructed using the URI so the custom
scheme name is lost and our custom socket factory is not picked up
DefaultRequestDirector.handleResponse(RoutedRequest, HttpResponse,
HttpContext) line: 1110
*HttpHost newTarget = URIUtils.extractHost(uri);*
DefaultHttpRoutePlanner.determineRoute(HttpHost, HttpRequest, HttpContext)
line: 113
DefaultRequestDirector.determineRoute(HttpHost, HttpRequest, HttpContext)
line: 791
DefaultRequestDirector.handleResponse(RoutedRequest, HttpResponse,
HttpContext) line: 1129
DefaultRequestDirector.execute(HttpHost, HttpRequest, HttpContext) line: 548
Request the forum to help solve our scenario. You help is much appreciated,
awaiting a quick response.
Thank you
