[mod_cluster-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (MODCLUSTER-645) Different handling of max-attempts parameter on Undertow and httpd implementation

Different handling of max-attempts parameter on Undertow and httpd implementation --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MODCLUSTER-645 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-645 Project: mod_cluster Issue Type: Task Affects Versions: 1.3.5.Final Reporter: Jan Kašík Assignee: Radoslav Husar Priority: Critical The behavior of balancer is different on httpd in comparsion with Undertow implementation when max-attempts parameter is set. * *Undertow*: max-attempts is total count of requests made by balancer in failover scenario. When max-attemps is set to 1 and target worker fails after first attempt made by balancer, no further attempts are made. * *httpd*: max-attempts is count of retries made by balancer after first attempt fails. When max-attempts is set to 1 and target worker fails after first attempt made by balancer, second worker is chosen and request is sent towards it. This doesn't seem right and I suggest to unify behavior across implementations.
