I am having trouble getting my client to timeout with a non-responsive host.
I should say up front that I am doing authentication discovery to setup
valid auth credentials for hosts that I am managing.
The other big deal is that I am using https and the hosts have self-signed
certificates. The reason I mention this it that I had to use a sample for
custom protocol handler. This has been deprecated but works nicely:
Protocol myhttps = new Protocol("https", (SecureProtocolSocketFactory) new
EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory(), 443);
Here is my code:
***********************Begin Code Snippet********* (I am importing
apache.commons.httpclient version 3.1) HttpClient CTMclient = new
HttpClient(); Protocol myhttps = new Protocol("https",
(SecureProtocolSocketFactory) new EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory(), 443);
Protocol.registerProtocol("https", myhttps);
CTMclient.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true);
CTMclient.getState().setCredentials(new AuthScope(AuthScope.ANY_HOST, 443,
AuthScope.ANY_REALM), defaultcreds); CTMclient.setConnectionTimeout(15000);
**** Note I am setting the timeout.
GetMethod methodget = new
GetMethod("https://"+CTMurl+"/cgi-bin?tbAction=TB_CONFIG_CALL_STATISTICS";);
try {
statusCode = CTMclient.executeMethod(methodget);
.....................
**********************End Code Snippet **************
This works beautifully so long as the host is responsive. I am able to
handle the unsigned certificate transparently and successfully authenticate.
The only problem is that with non-responsive hosts, it never times out. I
saw some code snippets setting the timeout using httpparms, but I then have
to switch to BasicHttpClient and away from httpcommons libraries. I was not
able to get the authentication to work.
Does anyone have a way to set the timeout other than the above?.. or a
pointer to working code examples that include authentication and the use of
custom protocol for the self-signed cert?
