[htdig-dev] server_wait_time directive

[Alain F. <ala...@ri...>]

Hi,


I'm testing the latest htdig-3.2.0b4 snapshot (20020428).

I think that there is a problem with the htdig behavior and the
server_wait_time.

In Retreiver.cc:

---- cut here ----
// No HTTP connections available, so we change server and pause
        if (max_connection_requests == 1)
            server->delay();   // This will pause if needed
                               // and reset the time

---- cut here ----

You can see that htdig waits for server_wait_time only if
max_connection_requests equal to 1.

if max_connection_requests have a different value, htdig will never wait
server_wait_time timeout before to open a new HTTP connection to the
same web server.

Since htdig HTTP client supports the Persistent Connection mechanism, I
think the delay() function have to be called jut before this loop :


---- Retreiver.cc ----

 // I think delay function have to be here 

 server->delay();

 while ( ( (max_connection_requests ==-1) ||
                          (count < max_connection_requests) ) &&
                    (ref = server->pop()) && noSignal)
            {
                 // stuff
                 ...
            }
---- Retreiver.cc ----

May be, I'm wrong and server_wait_time directive doesn't work with
persistent connection mechanism ...
