I'm having issues configuring or understanding how to configure client connectors.
What I'm trying to do is: - disable persistant connections altogether. - set a specific timeout policy. Note: this is for the Apache httpclient connector, I've not tried with others. Connection Persistence: The only documentation I could find was: http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_2.0/13-restlet/27-restlet/324-restlet/130-restlet.html According to this, it appears that setting the context property "clientKeepAlive" to a specific value will disable connection persistence. The necessary value isn't clear, so I've tried "close", "off", "no" and "false". Whatever the configuration, the client's HTTP headers always contain a "Connection: Keep-Alive" entry. Is there a way to disable connection persistence, at least for the Apache httpclient connector? If so, I'd be grateful for any help, I've struggled with this for a while and am no further than when I started. Timeout handling This is a documentation issue more than an implementation one. I'd like to set a timeout for both socket opening and content retrieval - a query shouldn't take more than x seconds to be established, nor should it take more than y seconds to complete. Note that in my specific case, setting x and y to the same value is perfectly acceptable. Looking at the documentation (http://www.restlet.org/documentation/2.0/jse/ext/org/restlet/ext/httpclient/HttpClientHelper.html), I'm a bit confused. - socketTimeout is probably the variable I want to set for connection establishment. - I'm unsure what idleTimeout does. The documentation could describe both persistent connections timeout (if the connection hasn't been used for x ms, close it) or stalled connections. Either way, it doesn't look like what I'm looking for. There are no other timeout related configuration variables that I can see in the documentation. Am I missing or misunderstanding something? Thanks ! Nicolas ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2645568
