Stopping silent retries in HttpURLConnection

问题

I'm using HttpURLConnection on Android KitKat to POST some data to a server. The server takes a long time to respond, and the connection is silently retrying 1 to 3 times before timing out. I don't want it to retry, since the server acts on all of the requests, resulting in Bad Things(TM).

I've tried System.setProperty("http.keepAlive", "false") before opening the connection, but that doesn't help.

回答1:

For POST calls set

httpURLConnection.setChunkedStreamingMode(0);

and this should fix the silent retries. The bug report and workaround can be found here.

Implement a hard timeout yourself, and force close the HttpURLConnection by calling disconnect. This can be done from your Activity using android handler; If you use AsyncTask, you can simply call cancel or Thread.interrupt():
```
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        httpUrlConnTask.cancel(true);
    }
}, timeout * 1000); 
```
And in your httpUrlConnTask, call disconnect:
```
if (isCancelled()) {
    urlConnection.disconnect();
    return;
}
```
You may have to do urlConnection in another internal child thread so you can do a while loop in asynctask monitoring for isCancelled. And a try..catch so you can close all the streams properly.
you already have keepAlive false, and readTimeout, consider adding connection timeout too. This will set the socket timeout.

You need to set System.setProperty("sun.net.http.retryPost", "false")

Android’s HTTP Clients

Prior to Froyo, HttpURLConnection had some frustrating bugs. In particular, calling close() on a readable InputStream could poison the connection pool. Work around this by disabling connection pooling:

private void disableConnectionReuseIfNecessary() {
    // HTTP connection reuse which was buggy pre-froyo
    if (Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK) < Build.VERSION_CODES.FROYO) {
        System.setProperty("http.keepAlive", "false");
    }
}
