Configure Maximum Connection Lifetimes
--------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1000
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1000
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpClient
Reporter: Michajlo Matijkiw
Provide a means of configuring a maximum lifetime for HttpClient connections.
Currently, it would appear as long as a connection is used it may persist
indefinitely.
This would be useful for situations where HttpClient needs to react DNS
changes, such as the following:
- HttpClient maintains connections to example.com which resolves to IP A
- Machine at IP A fails, and example.com now resolves to backup machine at IP B
- Since IP A is failing, connections are destroyed, and new connections are
made to IP B
- Machine at IP A recovers, but HttpClient maintains connections to IP B since
the connections are still healthy
The desired behavior would be that connections to IP B will reach their
connection lifetime, and new connections could be created back to IP A
according to the updated DNS settings.
