Shindig is caching makeRequest failures (specifically error 504)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SHINDIG-1251
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1251
Project: Shindig
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java
Environment: Firefox v3.5.6 running on Windows XP. Java Shindig
running on the same Windows XP machine. Data source on another machine.
Reporter: Bruce Godden
I have a gadget that uses a makeRequest to fetch data but the data source is
rather slow to respond, particularly in a testing environment. I have increased
the timeout for such fetches in Shindig to 30 seconds but even this is
sometimes not long enough to fetch the data. When this happens the fetch
returns an error 504 which the gadget displays. If I reload the gadget frame
then it almost instantly comes back with the error 504 again; there is no long
wait for the response this time.
It looks like Shindig is caching the timeout response and returning it when the
makeRequest is repeated. This is not what I would expect to happen. There are
some errors that might be worth caching but this isn't one of them. I haven't
investigated Shindig's behaviour with other errors but I suspect it might be
similar as I think I have seen other errors behaving similarly when I haven't
set up the testing environment correctly.
