Vertx Webclient : HTTP2 connection management , healthcheck

[sky]

As HTTP2 connection is persistent connection , is there any way to get current status of

established HTTP2 connection through webClient  ?

Requirement is to 

1) get status of webclient-server connection and raise alarm/faults 

2) currently i think we only get connection status when making requests in form of exception , is there any way to decouple this.

As connection is maintained in pools , is there any api exposed to access them.

Thanks & Regards.

Hi,

HTTP/2 has pingability that Vert.x implements at the connection level.

I think you can use the HttpClient wrapped by the WebClient and then
set a connection handler that ping the connection on a regular basis,
e.g

HttpClient client = // get http client
client.connectionHandler(conn -> {
// Called when a connection is established
int timerID = vertx.setPeriodic(5000, id_ -> {
conn.ping(data).onComplete(ar -> /* handle pong */);;
});
conn.closeHandler(v -> vertx.cancelTimer(timerID));
});

Hi , Thank You,

Yes , yesterday while going through the documentation , implemented using HttpClient/HttpClientRequest classes.

now next part is "auto-reconnect" when remote server comes up , could not find the way to do that . (using same request client)

Please guide.
