HttpClient超时故障

网站这边多次因为HttpClient超时问题导致Tomcat停止服务，影响非常不好，而且问题重复出现，查看网络，没有比较明确介绍httpclient所有超时相关的设置（大部分只提到连接超时（connection timeout）,读超时（socket timeout），对连接池超时提到的比较少）:

<dependency>

<groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId>

<artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId>

<version>3.1</version>

</dependency>

[java] view plain copy

print ?

1. 大部分线程等待在：org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager.doGetConnection  

大部分线程等待在：org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager.doGetConnection

分析：

问题：很明显连接池超时没设置，导致请求在线程池中无限等待，进而导致Tomcat进程假死。

解决办法1：httpclient.setHttpConnectionFactoryTimeout(1000)，设置连接池超时。

解决办法2：httpclient.getParams().setConnectionManagerTimeout(1000)，设置连接池超时。

进一步分析：

为什么没设置这个会导致请求等待：

MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager代码在获取连接时去连接池取，而连接池在没设置超时timeToWait为0，即一直处于等待状态，如果没有notify不会结束等待。

试用

<dependency>

<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>

<artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>

<version>4.2</version>

</dependency>

发现代码中即使不设置线程池超时，在高并发下也能正常访问，查看代码，发现是因为在默认没设置线程池超时时把连接超时的时间作为线程超时时间。
