             Summary: MaxAttemps behave
                 Key: MODCLUSTER-563
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-563
             Project: mod_cluster
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Bogdan Sikora
            Assignee: Michal Karm Babacek


[MaxAttemps Documentation|http://docs.jboss.org/mod_cluster/1.3.0/html_single/#proxy]
{noformat}
Number of times an httpd proxy will attempt to send a given request to a worker before giving up. The minimum value is 1, meaning try only once. (Note that mod_proxy default is also 1: no retry)
{noformat} 
Balancer is not behaving that way. Minimum that one can set is 0 that means "no retry" and overall the number there means how many times balancer should failover that request to another worker not how many (max)times balancer should sent the request to the workers (even the first one counts) as documentation stands.

*Behave*
||MaxAttempts||Undertow||Httpd||Documentation
| -1| (1) One retry | (1)One retry| Default of 1 should be used and therefore no retry
| 0| (1) One retry | (0)No retry| Default of 1 should be used and therefore no retry
| 1| (1) One retry | (1) One retry| No retry
| 2| (2) Two retries| (2) Two retries | One retry

\(x\) - x represents amount of retries based on balancer behave
