Benjamin Mahler reassigned MESOS-9209:
--------------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Benjamin Mahler)
> Include 'Connection: close' header in agent streaming API responses.
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-9209
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-9209
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HTTP API
> Reporter: Benjamin Mahler
> Priority: Major
>
> We've seen some HTTP intermediaries (e.g. ELB) decide to re-use connections
> to mesos as an optimization to avoid re-connection overhead. As a result,
> when the end-client of the streaming API disconnects from the intermediary,
> the intermediary leaves the connection to mesos open in an attempt to re-use
> the connection for another request once the response completes. Mesos then
> thinks that the subscriber never disconnected and the intermediary happily
> continues to read the streaming events even though there's no end-client.
> To help indicate to intermediaries that the connection SHOULD NOT be re-used,
> we can set the 'Connection: close' header for streaming API responses. It may
> not be respected (since the language seems to be SHOULD NOT), but some
> intermediaries may respect it and close the connection if the end-client
> disconnects.
> Note that libprocess' http server currently doesn't close the the connection
> based on a handler setting this header, but it doesn't matter here since the
> streaming API responses are infinite.
