-----------------------------------------------
Jon, is there anything that blocks resolution of this issue? Are planning to do more work on the adaptive connection pool sizing in the future?

> I'm currently working on a patch (wrote most of it on a cross-country flight) that will adapt the size of a per-route connection pool based on the interactions we see from that particular host. There's a sample implementation that does TCP-style additive increase/multiplicative decrease (AIMD) adaptation of the per-route pool where successful requests allow probing for more connections, but socket timeouts, connection timeouts, and 503s all result in backoffs.
> I'm hoping to hook this up for a demo to show multiple clients hitting a server with a fixed capacity where we can kill one client and the others then increase their pool sizes to take advantage of the unused server capacity. We can then restart the client and see things rebalance again. This would enable folks to use HttpClient e.g. in an application server cluster setting, where we wouldn't have to precompute or adjust the connection pool sizes as we add/remove nodes from the cluster (whether intentionally or via failures).
> Once I get that proof of concept working I'll post a patch for review. Roughly the patch hooks into AbstractHttpClient to look either for an HttpResponse or to catch an Exception, then hands those events off to another object to decide whether to backoff or not. In turn, we dynamically manage a ConnPerRouteBean to adjust the maxPerRoute to allow for the pool to grow or shrink naturally with TSSCM. Default implementations are all backwards compatible and don't change behavior.
