To implement this we need to Control reuse of cached SSL Context, see: - https.use.cached.ssl.context property Currently in JMeter, as we have 1 HttpClient per user, we are able to call without impacting other user: - httpClient.getConnectionManager().closeIdleConnections(1, TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS); My understanding of your answer was that if we switch to a shared HttpClient instance doing this would have side effects on other users. So I concluded we needed to stick to 1 HttpClient per Thread/User. Did I misunderstand ? If I did, then I still don't see how we can reset SSL Context for 1 user if we have 1 HttpClient per thread/User. > > Regarding eager to lazy, let me be a bit lazy :-), but as you seem to > know > > exactly what to do could you point me to the involved classes ? > > I must reckon I have a lot of work on JMeter so if you can help me > speedup > > this It would be great. > > > > > http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.3.x/httpclient/xref/org/apache/http/conn/socket/LayeredConnectionSocketFactory.html > > http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.3.x/httpclient/xref/org/apache/http/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.html > Thanks a lot Oleg. > > Oleg > > > -- Cordialement.
