Change TCP_NODELAY and SO_KEEPALIVE on the fly
----------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCORE-288
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-288
Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpCore
Affects Versions: 4.2-alpha2
Reporter: Geir Harald Hansen
Priority: Minor
Request:
HttpConnection#setTcpNoDelay() and setSocketKeepalive() methods to modify those
socket settings on the fly like can be done with setSocketTimeout()
Motivation:
Set different socket options depending on the request to support different
services on the same port. E.g. turn on TCP_NODELAY for requests to an
AJAX-based unix shell, but turn it off for transferring large files. Turn on
SO_KEEPALIVE and turn off socket timeout for long poll (comet) requests, but
not for other requests.
Potential problem:
When using persistent connections it is easy to forget that these options
survive to the next request. This situation exists with socket timeout already,
though. You have to remember to set it back when sending a response if you
don't want it for the next request. Perhaps a way to set
timeout/nodelay/keepalive temporarily only for the current request is useful.
Either way, I'd be happy to just be able to set nodelay and keepalive on the
fly.
