Scala Dispatch library: how to handle connection failure or timeout?

问题

I've been using the Databinder Dispatch library in a client for a simple REST-ish API. I know how to detect if I get an HTTP response with an error status:

Http x (request) {
    case (200, _, _, content) => successResult(content())
    case (404, _, _, _) => notFoundErrorResult
    case (_, _, _, _) => genericErrorResult
}

But how can I distinguish an error response from a failure to get any response at all, because of an invalid domain or failure to connect? And is there any way to implement a timeout while still using synchronous semantics? If there's anything relevant in the API, I've missed it.

回答1:

There is also a more elegant way to configure client using Http.configure method which receives Builder => Builder function as an argument:

val http = Http.configure(_.setAllowPoolingConnection(true).setConnectionTimeoutInMs(5000))

回答2:

The Periodic Table tells us that >! sets up an exception listener and a recent mailing list thread explains how to set a timeout.

All together, then, you might do something like:

val http = new dispatch.Http {
  import org.apache.http.params.CoreConnectionPNames
  client.getParams.setParameter(CoreConnectionPNames.CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, 2000)
  client.getParams.setParameter(CoreConnectionPNames.SO_TIMEOUT, 5000)
}
http(req >! {
  case e => // ...
})

Note that I haven't tested this...

In case you are using Dispatch reboot (with AsyncHttpClient as the underlying library) this is how you'd set the client configuration:

val myHttp = new dispatch.Http {
  import com.ning.http.client._
  val builder = new AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder()
  builder.setCompressionEnabled(true)
    .setAllowPoolingConnection(true)
    .setRequestTimeoutInMs(5000)
  override lazy val client = new AsyncHttpClient(builder.build())
}

and then just use this new object as you'd otherwise use http:

myHttp((url(baseUrl) <<? args) OK as.xml.Elem).either
