Hi all, We are trying to set the timeout for http client connections. The http component docs (http://camel.apache.org/http.html) indicate that we should be able to set this as a URI param (eg. - http://foo.com?httpClient.soTimeout=5000), BUT this doesn't work if setting the URI via the Exchange.HTTP_URI header. The timeout is completely ignored. There's nothing in the http component docs that I have found that indicate when specifying the URI via the Exchange.HTTP_URI header that the timeout settings will be ignored. I found a message thread (http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/setting-http-soTimeout-via-setHeader-is-not-working-td5716218.html) indicating that you have to use recipient list for timeouts to be respected. This is definitely counter intuitive and if someone develops a route using the Exchange.HTTP* headers and then needs to specify a time out they may need to change in their route logic since the configuration of the recipient list component is different from the http component.
Is having to use the recipient list component to support client http timeouts an explicit requirements decision or because of a technical limitation(s) of the http component? Is there a way to use the http component and specify the URI vi the Exchange.HTTP_URI header or is using recipient list the only way to do it? Thanks for any feedback. We have been very happy with using camel in our project and this is the first thing we've come across that I'd characterize as a major bug, but hopefully I'm mistaken here.
