Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-938.
------------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

Oz,

This is a general limitation of the java platform we can do little about. 

In HttpClient 4.0 one can replace the standard DNS resolution code with a custom routine by using a custom ClientConnectionOperator.

>             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: HttpClient, HttpConn
>    Affects Versions: 3.1 Final
>         Environment: Linux OS
>            Reporter: Oz Levanon

> When trying to connect to an unresolvable host (using the host name, not the IP), it seems that none of the timeouts has any effect.
> On one of my machines the UnknownHostConnection is only thrown after 20 seconds, even though my timeouts are set to 1 second.
> Please note that the duration of the timeout changes between computers. On my Windows XP machine it takes only 500ms to throw the exception, but on a Linux machine (probably with a more problematic DNS) it takes 20 seconds.
> This issue may be somehow related to issue 478 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-478), but I couldn't find any help in any of the solutions there.
> I suspect the problem occurs when Java's InetSocketAddress constructor calls InetAddress.getByName(String) after DefaultProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket tries to create a new socket.
> Example code:
> --------------------
> import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
> import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;
> public class HttpConnectionTimeoutProblem
> {
> 	public static void main(String[] args)
> 	{
> 		long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
> 		try
> 		{
> 			HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
> 			client.getParams().setConnectionManagerTimeout(1000);
> 			client.getParams().setSoTimeout(1000);
> 			GetMethod method = new GetMethod("http://www.987aksj239874nkjhse.gov");
> 			method.getParams().setSoTimeout(1000);
> 			int httpRc = client.executeMethod(method);
> 			System.out.println("httpRc = " + httpRc);
> 		}
> 		catch (Exception e)
> 		{
> 			long time = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
> 			System.out.println("Exception caught after " + time + ": " + e);
> 			e.printStackTrace();
> 		}
> 	}
> }
> The output from this is (on my Linux machine)
