System properties for controlling the keep-alive behavior of HTTPURLConnection
Red Hat build of OpenJDK 8.0.422 includes the following new system properties that you can use to control the keep-alive behavior of HTTPURLConnection in situations where the server does not specify a keep-alive time:
-
The
http.keepAlive.time.serverproperty controls the number of seconds before an idle connection to a server is closed. -
The
http.keepAlive.time.proxyproperty controls the number of seconds before an idle connection to a proxy is closed.
If the server or proxy specifies a keep-alive time in a Keep-Alive response header, this keep-alive time takes precedence over any value that you specify for the http.keepAlive.time.server or http.keepAlive.time.proxy property.
See JDK-8278067 (JDK Bug System).
