POAndroid HttpGet request with a very long URL
text
Body
copied!<p>I am currently faced to a strange problem.<br> I have to contact a web service, with a very long URL (there is some XML inside). The length of one of them is <strong>943</strong> characters.<br> Most of the time, the request failed with a NoHttpResponseException.<br> I newly added a RetryHandler, which do his job, and the request finally worked, but the execute time was <strong>246</strong> seconds!<br> I reduced the timeout, to something like 30 seconds, and occasionally, the request work.<br> Is there something to know about long URL to make it work better?<br> Or, is it just prohibited on Android?<br> I precise that all connection with another tinier URL (even like <strong>200</strong> chars) perfectly work.</p> <p>Here the source code of the Http connection: </p> <pre><code>DefaultHttpClient hc = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpProtocolParams.setUseExpectContinue(hc.getParams(), false); HttpParams httpParameters = hc.getParams(); // Set the timeout in milliseconds until a connection is established. int timeoutConnection = 5000; HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutConnection); // Set the default socket timeout (SO_TIMEOUT) // in milliseconds which is the timeout for waiting for data. int timeoutSocket = 10000; HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket); hc.setParams(httpParameters); HttpRequestRetryHandler retryHandler = new HttpRequestRetryHandler() { public boolean retryRequest(IOException exception, int executionCount, HttpContext context) { // retry a max of x times if(executionCount >= 5){ return false; } if(exception instanceof NoHttpResponseException){ return true; } else if (exception instanceof ClientProtocolException){ return true; } return false; } }; hc.setHttpRequestRetryHandler(retryHandler); url = Tool.prepareURL(url); Log.d(LogFilter.EXECUTE, url); HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url); if (eTag != null) { get.addHeader(HEADER_IF_NONE_MATCH, eTag); } long time = System.currentTimeMillis(); HttpResponse rp = hc.execute(get); Log.d(LogFilter.EXECUTE, "temps execute: "+(System.currentTimeMillis()-time)); return rp; </code></pre> <p>Thank you for your time.</p>
