RE: Pool running out of connections

2008-07-17 Thread Joan Balagueró
Hello,

Thanks for your response. I suppose that this eviction policy that you are
saying is achieved by using IdleConnectionTimeoutThread. Am I right?

Joan.

Socket timeout applies to _active_ read operations only. Idle
connections cannot time out, as they are not blocked in a read
operation.  

You should implement an eviction policy to close connections that have
been idle for too long.

Hope this helps

Leena,

The HTTP session can only be invalidated by the server. HttpClient
merely uses the session cookie to inform the server that requests are
logically related.

Per default HttpClient uses only two simultaneous connections to the
same host regardless of how many total connections are allowed. Try
increasing the number of maximum connections per host.

Hope this helps

Uday,

HTTP agents are not supposed to return 1xx status codes to the caller.
These are special purpose codes that are meant to be used internally
Just let HttpClient handle the expect-continue handshaking.  

http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/performance.html#Expect-continue_handshake

You can see exactly what gets transferred across the wire by turning on
the wire logging on the client side.

http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/logging.html

Hope this helps

Yes, you are. You do not necessarily need a special thread to achieve
that. Just call HttpConnectionManager#closeIdleConnections method after
a period inactivity to purge stale connections:

http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpConnectionManager.html#closeIdleConnections(long)

Re: PUT & Expect:100-continue

2008-07-17 Thread Uday Subbarayan
Hi Oleg,
    I disagree with you. This 100 status from HTTP Servers are valid response, 
to indicate to the client to continue sending the body. 

The HTTP 1.1 spec says,

"This interim response is
   used to inform the client that the initial part of the request has
   been received and has not yet been rejected by the server. The client
   SHOULD continue by sending the remainder of the request or, if the
   request has already been completed, ignore this response. The server
   MUST send a final response after the request has been completed."

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.1.1

A good example is Amzon's S3:
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/2006-03-01/

Here client will send the header first and S3 authenticates request based on 
header. Then if auth succeeds it will respond with 100 to indicate to the 
client to continue with the body OR 417 OT to send the body.

So,
   Is it safe to assume that Apache's HTTPClient is NOT supporting this 
"Expect:100-Continue" header in HTTP1.1?

Thanks,
-Uday.

You are very welcome to disagree.

You can assume whatever you please. HttpClient is fully RFC 2616 
compliant with regards to the expect:continue handshaking.
