[jira] [Commented] (HTTPASYNC-103) Connections reuse does not work when using TLS client certs

["Oleg Kalnichevski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPASYNC-103?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15177600#comment-15177600 ] 

Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPASYNC-103:
---------------------------------------------

Fae,

Handling of state-ful connections is explained here. Connections carrying state that represents a user identity does not get re-used by default unless logically related requests share the same context and the same user identity.

Please have a look

>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 4.1.1

> When using TLS client certs, {{PoolingNHttpClientConnectionManager.requestConnection()}} is called with {{state=null}} but {{PoolingNHttpClientConnectionManager.releaseConnection()}} is called with {{state=X500Principal}}.
> What I think it happening... {{org.apache.http.impl.nio.client.AbstractClientExchangeHandler.requestConnection()}} has:
> {code:java}
> final Object userToken = this.localContext.getUserToken();
> this.connmgr.requestConnection( ... userToken, ...
> {code}
> At this point the user token has not been set.
> Then {{org.apache.http.impl.nio.client.MainClientExec.responseCompleted()}} has this which sets the user token:
> {code:java}
> Object userToken = localContext.getUserToken();
> if (userToken == null) {
>   userToken = this.userTokenHandler.getUserToken(localContext);
>   localContext.setAttribute(HttpClientContext.USER_TOKEN, userToken);
> }
> {code}
> And {{org.apache.http.impl.nio.client.AbstractClientExchangeHandler.releaseConnection()}} then with:
> {code:java}
> final Object userToken = this.localContext.getUserToken();
> this.connmgr.releaseConnection(localConn, userToken, validDuration, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
> {code}
> And because the state does not match, the call to {{releaseConnection()}} has no effect.
> There is an assertion for this at {{org.apache.http.nio.pool.RouteSpecificPool.free()}}, but the assertion is never called because {{org.apache.http.nio.pool.AbstractNIOConnPool.release()}} first checks the response of:
> {code:java}
> if (this.leased.remove(entry)) { ...
> {code}
> And there is no else statement.
> In case this is useful for anyone else, for now I have worked around the issue using this:
> {code:java}
> /**
>  * This is a hackaround for connections not being release (and thus not reused) when using TLS client certs.
>  * The problem is that the connection is requested with state==null but released with state==javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal.
>  * Since our use case does not require the state value to be none null, enforce that assumption and override it when releasing connections.
