Oz Levanon closed HTTPCLIENT-938.
---------------------------------
Thanks for the fast responses.
I'll try andsee what I can do on the machine side to speed up DNS resolution.
If it won't succeed I'll use the workaround suggested above and access the DNS
before so that its failed resolution will be cached.
Thanks,
Oz

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-938
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-938
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient, HttpConn
> Affects Versions: 3.1 Final
> Environment: Linux OS
> Reporter: Oz Levanon
>
> When trying to connect to an unresolvable host (using the host name, not the
> IP), it seems that none of the timeouts has any effect.
> On one of my machines the UnknownHostConnection is only thrown after 20
> seconds, even though my timeouts are set to 1 second.
> Please note that the duration of the timeout changes between computers. On my
> Windows XP machine it takes only 500ms to throw the exception, but on a Linux
> machine (probably with a more problematic DNS) it takes 20 seconds.
> This issue may be somehow related to issue 478
> (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-478), but I couldn't find
> any help in any of the solutions there.
> I suspect the problem occurs when Java's InetSocketAddress constructor calls
> InetAddress.getByName(String) after DefaultProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket
> tries to create a new socket.
> Example code:
> --------------------
> import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
> import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;
> public class HttpConnectionTimeoutProblem
> {
> public static void main(String[] args)
> {
> long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
> try
> {
> HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
> client.getParams().setConnectionManagerTimeout(1000);
> client.getParams().setSoTimeout(1000);
> GetMethod method = new
> GetMethod("http://www.987aksj239874nkjhse.gov";);
> method.getParams().setSoTimeout(1000);
> int httpRc = client.executeMethod(method);
> System.out.println("httpRc = " + httpRc);
> }
> catch (Exception e)
> {
> long time = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
> System.out.println("Exception caught after " + time +
> ": " + e);
> e.printStackTrace();
> }
> }
> }
> The output from this is (on my Linux machine)
> --------------------------------------------------------------
> log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
