------------------------------------------
Summary: Allow to configure the OSGi client default timeouts
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1864
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1864
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpClient (classic)
Affects Versions: 4.5
Reporter: Timothee Maret
The OSGI HTTP client currently comes with default connection and socket
timeouts.
The default timeouts are infinite values. Those infinite timeouts imply that a
failing connection may hang forever wasting the associated resources and
potentially causing the process to stop with hardly reproducible issues.
There already is a way to configure the timeouts per client instance. This
approach provides a great flexibility but it comes at the cost of I. tedious
and error prone configurations, II. not solving the issue once for all (new
components may forget to add support for timeouts).
Allowing to configure the default globally or via the factory configuration
(with defaults) would give a simpler configuration overall and inherit the
configurable default to all consumers of the client.
This improvement shall only applies to the OSGI client.
