> The following e-mail was received on the dev mailing list and points out an
> issue in the HandleHttpRequest, which is that the user cannot configure the
> jetty timeout. As a result, requests that take longer than 30 seconds timeout
> causing some problems:

> I've been experimenting with the HandleHttpRequest/Response processors in

> hoping that I'm simply missing a configuration item, but I've been unable to
> find the solution.
> The scenario is this: HandleHttpRequest --> Long Processing (> 30 seconds)
> --> HandleHttpResponse. It appears that the jetty server backing the
> HandleHttpRequest has a built in idle time timeout of 30000 ms (see
> jetty-server/src/main/java/org/eclipse/jetty/server/AbstractConnector.java
> _idleTimeout value). In my test flow, 30 seconds after a HTTP requests comes
> in, a second request comes into the flow. It has the same information, except
> the http.context.identifier and the FlowFile UUID has changed, and the
> http.dispatcher.type has changed from REQUEST to ERROR. From my online
> research
> (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30786939/jetty-replay-request-on-timeout?),
> this re-request with a type of error comes in after jetty determines that a
> request has timed out.
> This would not normally be a big deal. I was able to RouteOnAttribute and
> capture all ERROR requests without responding. However, those requests are
> never cleared from the StandardHttpContextMap. I've tested this by setting
> the number of requests allowed by the StandardHttpContextMap to 4, and done 4
> of my long Request/Response tests. Each request is correctly responded to
> eventually in my test, but because they take over 30 seconds each also
> generates an ERROR request that is stored in the StandardHttpContextMap. If I
> then leave the system alone for much longer than the Request Timeout
> parameter in the StandardHttpContextMap and then attempt a request, I get a
> 503 response saying that the queue is full and no requests are allowed. No
> requests are allowed at all until I delete and recreate the Map.
> It seems unlikely to me that no one has attempted to use these processors in
> this fashion. However, looking through the unit test for this processor it
> seems like no where was a timeout tested over 30 seconds, so I thought it
> worth a conversation.
> So finally, is there a configuration item to extend the jetty server's idle
> timeout? Or is there a better way to ensure that the bogus requests don't get
> stuck permanently in the StandardHttpContextMap? I appreciate any pointers
> you can give.
