Jim Adams commented on IVY-1105:
--------------------------------
I think some of the initial wording is a little odd. The idea that this is a
DOS attack against the server is not right. In actuality it seems like a client
performing a DOS attack on itself. In any case I think that portion of the
wording is not right. The client is unusable until the socket times out.

> Key: IVY-1105
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1105
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: windows xp sp3, running Ivy repository through http for
> remote resolving
> Reporter: Ernest Pasour
> Assignee: Maarten Coene
> Fix For: 2.0-RC1
>
>
> Ivy is extremely aggressive towards repositories . This can result in
> resolving fails, even towards a healthy repository.
> The symptom:
> [ivy:resolve] 01-07-2008 13:16:24
> org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector executeWithRetry
> [ivy:resolve] INFO: I/O exception (java.net.BindException) caught when
> processing request: Address already in use: connect.
> In effect this happens when Ivy has performed a successfully DOS attack
> against the repository.
> This is especially a problem when having large repositories (lost of
> revisions) and resolve against latest.status -> as this will fetch ivy.xml
> md5 and sha1 files for every revision.
