I'd like to understand some things about how and why HttpClient "retries" connections that it can't make. I've tried setting the "connection timeout" to 20 seconds, but what I see happen is that it actually tries to connect 6 times, each time timing out after 20 seconds, where it says it's going to try another IP address (although there's only one possibility for my test). I can understand where this is useful when a DNS name maps to multiple IP addresses.
Is there any way to control the number of times it retries? I couldn't find any obvious way to do this. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
