Hi, I use HttpClient to connect my client application to a server.
While testing, I saw a problem: sometimes, the server accepts the POST but never answers to it. So, my HttpClient waits about 1h30 before closing the connection: [21:26:10] DEBUG (EntityEnclosingMethod.java:504) -> Request body sent [21:26:10] TRACE (HttpConnection.java:825) -> enter HttpConnection.flushRequestOutputStream() [21:26:10] TRACE (HttpMethodBase.java:1585) -> enter HttpMethodBase.readResponse(HttpState, HttpConnection) [21:26:10] TRACE (HttpMethodBase.java:1823) -> enter HttpMethodBase.readStatusLine(HttpState, HttpConnection) [21:26:10] TRACE (HttpConnection.java:1112) -> enter HttpConnection.readLine () [21:26:10] TRACE (HttpParser.java:104) -> enter HttpParser.readLine(InputStream, String) [21:26:10] TRACE (HttpParser.java:73) -> enter HttpParser.readRawLine() [23:13:28] DEBUG (HttpMethodDirector.java:403) -> Closing the connection. [23:13:28] TRACE (HttpConnection.java:1147) -> enter HttpConnection.close() [23:13:28] TRACE (HttpConnection.java:1214) -> enter HttpConnection.closeSockedAndStreams() [23:13:28] DEBUG (HttpMethodDirector.java:433) -> Method retry handler returned false. Automatic recovery will not be attempted [23:13:28] TRACE (HttpConnection.java:1173) -> enter HttpConnection.releaseConnection() [23:13:28] DEBUG (HttpConnection.java:1177) -> Releasing connection back to connection manager. [23:13:28] TRACE (HttpConnection.java:1173) -> enter HttpConnection.releaseConnection() [23:13:28] DEBUG (HttpConnection.java:1177) -> Releasing connection back to connection manager. [23:13:28] TRACE (PostMethod.java:151) -> enter PostMethod.clearRequestBody () [23:13:28] TRACE (EntityEnclosingMethod.java:149) -> enter EntityEnclosingMethod.clearRequestBody() How can I force the client to close this connection after 5 or 10 minutes ? I tried to configure the HttpConnectionManager : HttpConnectionManager hcm = new SimpleHttpConnectionManager(); hcm.closeIdleConnections(5 * 1000 * 60); // five minutes myclient.setHttpConnectionManager(hcm); But the problem is still here. Thanks ps : if any of this is not english, I'm sorry.
