[jira] Commented: (HTTPCORE-143) Connection timeout leaks socket fd

["Roland Weber (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-143?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12564856#action_12564856 ] 

Roland Weber commented on HTTPCORE-143:
---------------------------------------

Maybe the question is stupid, but... why does your timeout callback not close the connection?
A timeout is just an indication of some problem, which may or may not be temporary.
It should be left to applications whether they want to close a connection or retry the communication.

just my 0.02€,

> Seen in an alpha7 snapshot: svn-597902
> Scenario:
> * I want to talk to a machine that has a firewall configured that drops inbound packets on some port: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8787 -j DROP
> * I set up a client that uses NIO to open a connection to that host:port, with some timeout.
> Expected Result:
> The connection should timeout and the fd should be closed.
> Actual Result:
> My timeout callback gets called, but the connection never gets closed.
