Wolfgang,

Those parameters are only available in JDK 1.4. That is the reason we can not provide them in the standard code base. You can still extend the DefaultProtocolSocketFactory to return a custom configured socket and register it with the Protocol class for the http protocol scheme. Code like so:

Protocol.registerProtocol("http", new Protocol("http", new CustomSocketFactory(), 80));

public class CustomSocketFactory extends DefaultProtocolSocketFactory {

    /**
     * Constructor for DefaultProtocolSocketFactory.
     */
    public CustomSocketFactory () {
        super();
    }

    /**
     * @see #createSocket(java.lang.String,int,java.net.InetAddress,int)
     */
    public Socket createSocket(
        String host,
        int port,
        InetAddress clientHost,
        int clientPort
    ) throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
        Socket s = super.createSocket(host, port, clientHost, clientPort);
        customize(s);
        return s;
    }

    /**
     * @see ProtocolSocketFactory#createSocket(java.lang.String,int)
     */
    public Socket createSocket(String host, int port)
        throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
        Socket s = super.createSocket(host, port);
        customize(s);
        return s;
    }

    private customize(Socket s) {
       s.setSendBufferSize(5000);
       //customize as you like
    }
}

Hi,

As part of a webapp, I'm trying to abuse commons-httpclient as as client to a high-performance static file download service over high bandwidth long latency network links. Here, tuning TCP windows sizes can make a drastic difference.

Is there any support in httpclient to configure the socket SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF, to be set via
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html#setSendBufferSize(int)



For more background on why these things matter, see, for example:
