Re: connections on pool close unexpectedly

2003-03-27 Thread Michael Becke
Hi Sergio,

Thank you for sending your sample code.  It has been quite helpful.

I have discovered a few interesting things.  I have been able to 
reproduce something similar to what you have been describing.  It seems 
that in JRE 1.2.2 and 1.3.1 (not 1.4.1) that when a connection is 
closed on the server side (due to inactivity) writing to it causes and 
IOException (in 1.4.1 it is a SocketException).  This is important 
because SocketExceptions are considered recoverable where IOExceptions 
are not.  So this error will not show up on some JREs as it will get 
treated as a recoverable exception and will be handed by the HttpMethod.

This brings up a few questions:

1) should we de differentiating between SocketExceptions and 
IOExceptions?
2) is there some other more reliable way to determine if a connection 
is closed?

Also, this error points out a bug in HttpConnection.  When an 
IOException occurs on a connection the method fails but the connection 
is never closed or marked as unusable.  Therefore is keeps getting 
reused even though it will always throw an IOException.  This is not a 
problem in the case of SocketExceptions as the connection gets reopened 
by the method.  It seems to me that the HttpConnection should probably 
be closing itself when any exception occurs during writing (maybe 
reading too).  What do others think?

Sergio.  To fix this problem for the short term I would suggest either 
using HTTP 1.0 or a JRE that does not exhibit this problem.  Using HTTP 
1.0 will cause the connections to not be reused (call 
HttpMethod.setHttp11(false) ).  Using a 1.4.1 (at least for me) will 
cause recoverable exceptions that will get handed by the method.

Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

However, that little can can tell:

Both HTTP server and HTTP client may close connection at any time

RE: connections on pool close unexpectedly

2003-03-25 Thread becke
Hello Sergio,

Sorry my response has taken so long.  Could you be more specific about how you are 
using HttpClient and what is failing?  In particular the following would be good:

 - a piece of example code that demonstrates how you are using HttpClient, if this 
example could actually reproduce the problem that would be great.
 - a stack trace, etc. of the error you are seeing
 - a log from httpclient when you encounter this problem, see 
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/logging.html

You should not need to manage the HttpConnection manually.  In general you should not 
be using the HttpConnection directly at all.  All of this should be handled by 
HttpMethod, HttpClient and the connection manager.

FYI, I will not being checking my mail again until tomorrow, so please be patient with 
me if I do not respond until then.

Thanks,

Mike

RE: connections on pool close unexpectedly

2003-03-25 Thread Sergio Berna
Just one more question then, before ill try to correct it myself, im
assuming that the connections are been pooled inside the multhreadedmanager
so as to improve performance.

The only problem im facing is that the manager doesnt realize the connection
is broken and i cant find any method to tell it, so the connection is
forever broken at the pool and no matter the attemps i do it is always used
first with the expected failure.

Is there any method to expire the connection fotever or should i always
create a new HttpClient so that i can use a new pool?

If it doesnt i could try solving this problem by automatically deleting a
connection which had thrown an IOException (then a reconnect would work) or
making a method to expunge it out of the pool. The last one is tricky since
you cant use it with the responsebody methods.

Which one do you suggest?

Sergio.

I regret that your message has been left unanswered for so long. The
problem is that out of 4 committers I seem to be the only one currently
monitoring this forum on a regular basis, and I just happened to not be
using connection pooling much. So, I am not the best source to turn to
in this regard. You'll have to wait until Mike gets back in order to get
a more informed opinion on your problem. 

However, that little can can tell:

Both HTTP server and HTTP client may close connection at any time
according to the HTTP spec. I suppose that the HTTP server you are using
may be dripping connections after a minute of inactivity. This is a
perfectly standard compliant behavior. I am afraid you might have to
live with it and simply try the request after having caught a retriable
exception 

I would help you provided us with more detailed information on the setup
you are using

Cheers

connections on pool close unexpectedly

2003-03-21 Thread Sergio Berna
Hello,

I am having problems with HttpClient 2.0-alpha3 when i try to pool it.

After the first call to stablish a connection against a server i usually can
work with the client for 1 minue requetsing new pages. But after that minute
i think the connecion is been closed somehow because any new attempt to
retrieve any file at the host is rejcted instantly with the message
BrokenPipe.

Afetr logging it the problem arises just after the first attemt to write the
HTTP header for the request so i suppose it is closed somehow either by the
client or the server and the client always attemps to write to the same
stream.

Thanks for your time.
