This enables simple support for proxies (beyond proxy host and proxy port, which is done via the RequestConfig)) to provide a base path in front of all requests performed by the RestClient.
This removes final from the RestClient, Response, and Sniffer classes so that outside code can mock them. Their constructors are already package private, so there's not much that can go wrong.
Consuming the response body to make it part of the exception message means that it may not be readable anymore later, depending on whether the entity is repeatable or not. Turns out that the response body tells a lot about the error itself, and considering that we don't expect bodies to be incredibly big for errors, we can wrap the entity into a BufferedHttpEntity to make it repeatable.
Closes#19622
It can happen that the list of healthy hosts is empty, then we get one from the blacklist. but some other operation might have sneaked in and emptied the blacklist in the meantime, so we have to retry till we manage to get some host, either from the healthy list or from the blacklist.
Throw explicit IllegalStateException in unexpected situations, like where both response and exception are set, or when both are unset. Add unit test for SyncResponseListener.
We throw IOException, which is the exception that is going to be thrown in 99% of the cases. A more generic exception can happen, and if it is a runtime one we just let it bubble up as is, otherwise we wrap it into runtime one so that we don't require to catch Exception everywhere, which seems odd.
Also adjusted javadocs for all performRequest methods
We keep the default async client behaviour like in BasicAsyncResponseConsumer, but we lower the maximum size of the buffer from Integer.MAX_VALUE (2GB) to 10 MB. This way users will realize they are buffering big responses in heap hence they'll know they have to do something about it, either write their own response consumer or increase the buffer size limit by providing their manually creeted instance of HeapBufferedAsyncResponseConsumer (constructor accept a bufferLimit int argument).
Also delayed call to HttpAsyncClient#start so that if something goes wrong while creating the RestClient, the http client threads don't linger. In fact, if the constructor fails it is not possible to call close against the RestClient.
HttpClientConfigCallback#customizeHttpClient now also returns the HttpClientBuilder so it can be completely replaced
RequestConfigCallback#customizeRequestConfig now also returns the HttpClientBuilder so it can be completely replaced
The new method accepts the usual parameters (method, endpoint, params, entity and headers) plus a response listener and an async response consumer. Shortcut methods are also added that don't require params, entity and the async response consumer optional.
There are a few relevant api changes as a consequence of the move to async client that affect sync methods:
- Response doesn't implement Closeable anymore, responses don't need to be closed
- performRequest throws Exception rather than just IOException, as that is the the exception that we get from the FutureCallback#failed method in the async http client
- ssl configuration is a bit simpler, one only needs to call setSSLStrategy from a custom HttpClientConfigCallback, that doesn't end up overridng any other default around connection pooling (it used to happen with the sync client and make ssl configuration more complex)
Relates to #19055
The callback replaces the ability to fully replace the http client instance. By doing that, one used to lose any default that the RestClient had set for the underlying http client. Given that you'd usually override one or two things only, like a couple of timeout values, the ssl factory or the default credentials providers, it is not uder friendly if by doing that users end up replacing the whole http client instance and lose any default set by us.
Users wanting to send a request by providing only its method and endpoint, effectively the only two required arguments, shouldn't need to pass in an empty map and a null entity for the body. While at it we can also add a variant to send requests by specifying only method, endpoint and params, but not body. Headers remain a vararg as last argument, so they can always optionally be provided.
Closes#19312
:client ---------> :client:rest
:client-sniffer -> :client:sniffer
:client-test ----> :client:test
This lines the client up with how we do things like modules and
plugins.
