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.
