HTTPClientRA waits too long when trying to connecto to a non existing URL

[ionut.andras]

Hi,

I have the following problem:

1. I'm trying to connect to a non existing url using the code from HTTPClientRA manual
2. Please observe the timing in error even if I set httpMethod.getParams().setSoTimeout(500):

Is that on a request after some, even if short, idle time?

This is the first requiest I'm doing to the server , after mobicents starts. And it waits a very long time even if the WS
not exists and it should return after timeout which is 500ms.

There is no activity before this call. Everything is clean.

Thanks for your interest.

I recall having such issue with XCAP, will investigate what was the
solution applied to the http client.

Thanks a lot for the interest

The HTTP Client RA in the trunk (please update svn) has no such issue,
I've tried the example in the svn (also updated) with a delay of 1h
and works fine.

Regarding the new RA code please note that the ra, ra type and event
versions, needed in sbb xml descriptors, went up to 4.0, to note the
migration to Apache HTTP Client 4.x.

The RA docs are also updated, you can build it from the svn by doing
"mvn install" in the HTTP Client RA docs dir, the output will be in
inside jdocbook-mobicents/target/publish/...
