If a Http server is not reachable, and Http client is trying to send a POST request to the server, will the Post content ever have the opportunity to be sent or no (say error code come back and the code will not be executed)?
More specifically, I have special logic in writeTo function, I would like to know if it is executed or not if Http server is not reachable.
public interface HttpEntity {
boolean isRepeatable();
boolean isChunked();
long getContentLength();
Header getContentType();
Header getContentEncoding();
InputStream getContent() throws IOException, IllegalStateException;
void writeTo(OutputStream var1) throws IOException;
boolean isStreaming();
void consumeContent() throws IOException;
}

As my project migrated from SPRING 3 to SPRING 5 the methods I had to get the user credentials with AuthenticationException getAuthentication.getPrincipal() became deprecated and now I can't get the info when a user fails to authenticate.
I tried to get the info from the HttpServletRequest with request.getParameter(WebAttributes.AUTHENTICATION_EXCEPTION); but as my authentication object is already null I get null;
I also tried with request.getSession().getAttribute(name); but the code doesn't recognize the "name" variable.
I could get the info needed with request.getparameter("name of your variable"); Here is an exemple;
public void onAuthenticationFailure(final HttpServletRequest request, final HttpServletResponse response, final AuthenticationException exception) throws IOException {
request.getparameter("name");
request.getparameter("lastname");
request.getparameter("id");
}
I'm trying to get some client data inside the UserAuthenticationSecurityCheck.validateCredentials method.
The IP Address is the most important for it.
In the other adapters, I'm using the HttpServletRequest:
#Context
protected HttpServletRequest request;
But this request object is always null in the UserAuthenticationSecurityCheck.
How can I get client data (IP Address or the headers) in this class?
You cannot inject the HttpServletRequest into a security check object(by design - not a bug). Once the user is authenticated, then you can make another Adapter Call, from where you can get the desired details. Unfortunately this is not documented anywhere (not to my knowledge at least).
I had a similar issue with AdapterAPI class as described here.
You can get request in security adapter but not from #Context.
Just override authorize method:
#Override
public void authorize(Set<String> scope, Map<String, Object> credentials, HttpServletRequest request, AuthorizationResponse response) {
//TODO use request object
super.authorize(scope, credentials, request, response);
}
I am stuck with this weird situation where sometimes my HTTP requests don't go out or I don't get a HTTP response to my request sporadically. My application makes several (100s) http requests to other 3rd party service periodically most of which work absolutely fine.
I use the CloseableHttpAsyncClient (Version 4.0) with a custom HttpRequestIntercerptor and HttpResponseInterceptor. These were mainly added for debugging purpose with the RequestInterceptor is the last interceptor in the chain and the ResponseInterceptor is the first one. The idea was to log each http request at the last stage before it sends the actual request and to log each http response when it is first received.
I have the following pattern to setup the async client:
HttpAsyncClientBuilder asyncClientBuilder = HttpAsyncClientBuilder.create();
asyncClientBuilder.addInterceptorLast(new MyHttpRequestInterceptor());
asyncClientBuilder.addInterceptorFirst(new MyHttpResponseInterceptor());
IOReactorConfig reactorConfig = IOReactorConfig.DEFAULT;
reactorConfig.setConnectTimeout(5 * 60 * 1000); // 5 mins
reactorConfig.setSoTimeout(5 * 60 * 1000); // 5 mins
asyncClientBuilder.setDefaultIOReactorConfig(reactorConfig);
System.setProperty("http.maxConnections", "100");
this.asyncHttpClient = asyncClientBuilder.useSystemProperties().build();
this.asyncHttpClient.start();
To make the request I do:
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet("some url");
asyncHttpClient.execute(httpGet, new AsyncHTTPResponseHandler(requestMetadata));
Here is my AsyncHTTPResponseHandler class:
class AsyncHTTPResponseHandler implements FutureCallback<HttpResponse> {
// local copy of the request for reference while processing the response.
private RequestMetadata requestMetadata;
public AsyncHTTPResponseHandler(final RequestMetadata requestMetadata) {
this.setRequestMetadata(requestMetadata);
Thread.currentThread().setUncaughtExceptionHandler(new HttpUncaughtExceptionHandler(requestMetadata));
}
#Override
public void cancelled() {
logger.error("AsyncHTTPResponseHandler#Http request id: {} cancelled",
requestMetadata.getRequestId()));
}
#Override
public void completed(HttpResponse response) {
logger.debug("Received HTTP Response for request id: {}",
requestMetadata.getRequestId());
//handleHttpResponse(requestMetadata, response);
}
#Override
public void failed(Exception e) {
logger.error("AsyncHTTPResponseHandler#Error in Http request id: " + requestMetadata.getRequestId(), e);
}
}
Based on this setup, I see the following cases based on my interceptors logs:
1. My application http request triggers an asyncclient HttpRequest and I get the HttpResponse -- Success.
2. My application http request triggers an asyncclient HttpRequest (the interceptor logs it) and I don't get the HttpResponse for this request --- Don't know why?
3. My application http request does not trigger an asyncclient HttpRequest (the interceptor does not log it) and I don't get the HttpResponse for this request --- Don't know why?
Any tips or suggestions on what I can do fix this or debug this problem further?
Thanks!!
So, thought I will share my findings and solution here.
We were experiencing symptoms similar to this bug: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPASYNC-79
If you enable DEBUG logging for "org.apache.http.impl.nio" package, then you can see the exchanges. Note: The logs will be very verbose.
The issue was resolved by upgrading the HttpAsyncClient library from 4.0 to 4.0.2. I have also enabled socket and Connection timeouts. You should see timeout exceptions in the log files with this.
Here is how my HttpAsyncClient instance looks now:
HttpAsyncClientBuilder asyncClientBuilder = HttpAsyncClientBuilder.create();
asyncClientBuilder.addInterceptorLast(new MyHttpRequestInterceptor());
asyncClientBuilder.addInterceptorFirst(new MyHttpResponseInterceptor());
// reactor config
IOReactorConfig reactorConfig = IOReactorConfig.custom()
.setConnectTimeout(TIMEOUT_5_MINS_IN_MILLIS)
.setSoTimeout(TIMEOUT_5_MINS_IN_MILLIS).build();
asyncClientBuilder.setDefaultIOReactorConfig(reactorConfig);
// request config
RequestConfig requestConfig = RequestConfig.custom()
.setConnectTimeout(TIMEOUT_5_MINS_IN_MILLIS)
.setConnectionRequestTimeout(TIMEOUT_5_MINS_IN_MILLIS)
.setSocketTimeout(TIMEOUT_5_MINS_IN_MILLIS).build();
asyncClientBuilder.setDefaultRequestConfig(requestConfig);
// connection config
ConnectionConfig connectionConfig = ConnectionConfig.custom()
.setMalformedInputAction(CodingErrorAction.IGNORE)
.setUnmappableInputAction(CodingErrorAction.IGNORE)
.build();
asyncClientBuilder.setDefaultConnectionConfig(connectionConfig);
System.setProperty("http.maxConnections", "100");
System.setProperty("http.conn-manager.timeout", "300000"); // 5 mins
this.asyncHttpClient = asyncClientBuilder.useSystemProperties().build();
I do not understand why this happens: when I declare explicitly the filename of the input in my annotated java class named "process", everything works perfect:
#GET
public static void process() throws IOException {
File file = new File("a.pdf");
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(new File("a.pdf" + ".exported"), menu.parseToString(file));
}
However, when I try to pass the file name as an argument, and configure also eclipse through run configurations to give the appropriate argument (path to the "a.pdf"):
#GET
public static void process(String[] args) throws IOException {
File file = new File(args[0]);
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(new File(args[0] + ".exported"), menu.parseToString(file));
}
when I call the service it fails with an error:
Oct 09, 2014 9:44:55 AM org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.JAXRSUtils readFromMessageBody
WARNING: No message body reader has been found for request class String[], ContentType :
application/octet-stream.
I am new to jax rs. Do I miss any annotation? Thank you very much...
Invalid Java syntax
This
public static void process("a.pdf") throws IOException {
// ...
}
is not valid Java syntax. Every IDE and javacwill complain about it. Eclipse says:
Syntax error on token ""a.pdf"", delete this token
application/octet-stream as body
It looks like you try to make a GET request with Content-Type: application/octet-stream (the file you somehow 'clicked'). This has two problems:
A GET request normally as no body, it just has headers.
A body of bytes encoded as application/octet-stream can not be mapped to a String[] because JAX-RS has no way to know how to intepret the bytes.
What you probably want
It looks like you want to make a GET request with a file name as a request parameter (that is not the sames as a file in the body of the request). You could do this:
GET http://example.com/service?filename=foo.pdf
Then a JAX-RS like the following could be used to service this request:
#GET
public Response service(#QueryParam("filename") String filename) {
// use filename to open a File and do something with it
}
Note the use of #QueryParam which allows service to extract filename=foo.pdf from the request URL.
I'm trying to upload a file using the Apache Http Client's PUT method. The code is as below;
def putFile(resource: String, file: File): (Int, String) = {
val httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(connManager)
httpClient.getCredentialsProvider.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, new UsernamePasswordCredentials(un, pw))
val url = address + "/" + resource
val put = new HttpPut(url)
put.setEntity(new FileEntity(file, "application/xml"))
executeHttp(httpClient, put) match {
case Success(answer) => (answer.getStatusLine.getStatusCode, "Successfully uploaded file")
case Failure(e) => {
e.printStackTrace()
(-1, e.getMessage)
}
}
}
When I tried running the method, I get to see the following error:
org.apache.http.NoHttpResponseException: The target server failed to respond

I do not know what has gone wrong? I'm able to do GET requests, but PUT seems not to work! Any clues as to where I should look for?
Look on the server. If GET Works, but PUT does not, then you have to figure out the receiving end.
Also, you may want to write a simple HTML File that has a form with PUT Method in it to rule out your Java Part.
As a sidenode: Its technically possible that something in between stops the request from going through or the response reaching you. Best setup a dummy HTTP Server to do the testing against.
Maybe its also a timeout issue, so the server takes to long to process your PUT.
The connection you are trying to use is a stale connection and therefore the request is failing.
But why are you only seeing an error for the PUT request and you are not seeing it for the GET request?
If you check the DefaultHttpRequestRetryHandler class you will see that by default HttpClient attempts to automatically recover from I/O exceptions. The default auto-recovery mechanism is limited to just a few exceptions that are known to be safe.
HttpClient will make no attempt to recover from any logical or HTTP protocol errors (those derived from HttpException class).
HttpClient will automatically retry those methods that are assumed to be idempotent. Your GET request, but not your PUT request!!
HttpClient will automatically retry those methods that fail with a transport exception while the HTTP request is still being transmitted to the target server (i.e. the request has not been fully transmitted to the server).
This is why you don't notice any error with your GET request, because the retry mechanism handles it.
You should define a CustomHttpRequestRetryHandler extending the DefaultHttpRequestRetryHandler. Something like this:
public class CustomHttpRequestRetryHandler extends DefaultHttpRequestRetryHandler {
#Override
public boolean retryRequest(IOException exception, int executionCount, HttpContext context) {
if(exception instanceof NoHttpResponseException) {
return true;
}
return super.retryRequest(exception, executionCount, context);
}
}
Then just assign your CustomHttpRequestRetryHandler
final HttpClientBuilder httpClientBuilder = HttpClients.custom();
httpClientBuilder.setRetryHandler(new CustomHttpRequestRetryHandler());
And that's it, now your PUT request is handled by your new RetryHandler (like the GET was by the default one)
