Hi,
We have a question about the exact behavior of the new responseTimeout
setting introduced in 5.0. Its Javadocs say: "Determines the timeout
until arrival of a response from the opposite endpoint."
To us it isn't clear what "arrival of a response" actually means
precisely. Is it when the initial bytes of the response header start
showing up? Or the complete receipt of all bytes of header + body? Or
something else?
Mainly we're trying to understand if this new setting implements the
same absolute limit on the total allowed request/response time as one
gets with the various approaches that have been documented in the past
involving an async thread (via for example TimerTask or
ScheduledExecutorService) that fires the request's abort()/cancel()
when the specified time delay is reached.
Thanks,
