The important parameters controlling behaviour of the Proxy Plugin
The 7.0 Proxy Plugin has various crucial parameter controlling its operation. These are n:
#1. poll-timeout parameter that determines how long it waits for a reply before
considering a request as having failed.
The poll-timeout can be increased by adding the poll-timeout parameter to the end of
the Service entry within the obj.conf file. For example:
Service type="magnus-internal/passthrough" fn="service-passthrough"
servers="http://sunflash.red.iplanet.com" poll-timeout="600000"
Default timeout is 5 minutes, or 300000 milliseconds
Maximum timeout is 6 hours, or 21600000 milliseconds
Minimum timeout is 1 second, or 1000 milliseconds
#2. connect-timeout parameter that determines how long to wait for a connection
Minimum = 10 ms
Maximum = 75 seconds (75 * 1000)
Default = 5 seconds (5 * 1000)
#3. connect-interval parameter that determines Interval between connect() calls
Minimum = 10 ms
Maximum = 30 seconds (30 * 1000)
Default = 500 ms
AND
#4. keep-alive-timeout parameter that determines Maximum time to let connections idle
Minimum = 0
Maximum = 6 hours (6 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
Default = 30 seconds (30 * 1000)
