http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25370 exception during writeRequest leaves the connection un-released ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-12-10 16:56 ------- The unfortunate reality with IOExceptions is that they can occur when you least expect them. I ran into this while doing rigorous exception testing (see the test code below). The statement "writeRequest method are supposed to be treated as recoverable" appears to be false: the method signature has IOException in it. It is not possible to remove that either, because an IOException can truly occur during the write. Of course, it is possible to change the method signature to "throws HttpRecoverableException" and catch other exceptions and wrap them as HttpRecoverableException. However, from the HTTP spec, a generic writeRequest is *not* simply retriable (it is not considered idempotent for POST, PUT, etc; see section 9.1 of the RFC). I would strongly discourage wrapping the IOException inside writeRequest. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
