[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-1176) Support proxy failover per
ProxySelector API
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1176?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13875799#comment-13875799 ]
Sivasubramaniam S commented on HTTPCLIENT-1176:
-----------------------------------------------
I am working on this improvement and I need answers for the following question to proceed -
I understand that when the first proxy is unreachable, the subsequent proxy (if it is reachable) must be chosen. I would like to know the expected behavior when all the proxies in the list returned by ProxySelector.select() are unreachable. Should a direct connection be used or should the first proxy be selected again leading to failure on socket errors (the current behavior)?

> The ProxySelectorRoutePlanner selects a single proxy from the list returned by the java.net.ProxySelector API. If the client can't open a socket to the proxy, other proxies in the list are ignored and the request fails. It would be good if the Apache HttpClient could try other proxies in the list before failing on socket errors. HttpURLConnection provides similar behavior. This functionality is useful in network configurations where proxies can go up and down for maintenance, for example.
