Summary:	HttpClient4 don't reuse TCP connections
Product:	JMeter - Now in Github	Reporter:	Maxime Bossard <maxbundy>
Component:	HTTP	Assignee:	JMeter issues mailing list <issues>
Status:	RESOLVED DUPLICATE

Description Maxime Bossard 2017-04-06 10:12:59 UTC

The current implementation of HttpClient4 don't reuse HTTP connections, dispite the "Use Keepalive" checked, the headers are present in the request and in the response.
TCP connections are not closed ether, they quickly move to state TIME-WAIT.

With the same test plan, HttpClient3.1 correctly reuse TCP connections.

Hello,
Can you test JMeter nightly build ?
http://jmeter.apache.org/nightly.html

This is not a bug but a configuration you have to do on these properties:
httpclient4.idletimeout=0
httpclient4.validate_after_inactivity=1700
httpclient4.time_to_live=2000

Read :
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/properties_reference.html


Default values have been improved in 3.2

Yup, it works with httpclient4.time_to_live greater than the value returned by the server.

I didn't test the nightly build, but I can't see a difference for this property in the 3.2RC2 version of jmeter.properties
cf: https://github.com/apache/jmeter/blob/v3_2_RC2/bin/jmeter.properties
