[jetty-users] Question about Jetty HTTP client 6.1.26

[Manpreet Singh <manpreet@xxxxxxx>]

We are using jetty-6.1.26 HTTP client to post messages to an IIS server (SSL) on very low bandwidth and high latency connections (VSAT). 

 

The code fragment used is as below:

 

        httpClient.setConnectorType(HttpClient.CONNECTOR_SELECT_CHANNEL);        

        httpClient.setMaxConnectionsPerAddress(1);

        httpClient.setMaxRetries(0);

        httpClient.setSoTimeout(soTimeout);

        httpClient.setTimeout(timeout); 

 

        contentExchange = new ContentExchange(true);

        contentExchange.setRetryStatus(false);

 

int result = contentExchange.waitForDone();

                        if(result ==  HttpExchange.STATUS_COMPLETED)

                        {

 

We have seen that in production in certain instances the http client while sending data would appear hung and if restarted it would send that data. There is no timeout/expiry or any other errors. 

 

We cannot move to any newer versions of Jetty.

 

How can we stop/interrupt the HTTP client send/exchange from an external thread forcefully? We would like to control every send of http client by  a timer. If that timer pops and the data is still being sent (suggesting a hung situation) we would like to call an abort or stop.

 

Thanks a lot in advance!!
