Hi Its working as designed.
The httpClient.xxx are options specific to the http client you want to use for the endpoint when its created. The Exchange.HTTP_URI is only for the uri to call the remote http server. And not to configure httpClient itself by camel etc. On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 5:08 PM, toomanyedwards <toomanyedwa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > We are trying to set the timeout for http client connections.
