Package reconnx is a Go-language plugin for the httpx robust HTTP framework. The reconnx plugin closes pooled HTTP connections when they experience degraded performance, resulting in fresh replacement connections which may have substantially better performance.
Use Case: Web services often use a DNS load balancing system, such as Amazon Route53 or Azure Traffic Manager, to keep their DNS pointing at healthy hosts. But the default GoLang HTTP client pools HTTP connections, so old connections to bad hosts stay alive. The reconnx plugin closes these old connections when they start to perform badly, allowing your service to re-query DNS and shift over to healthy hosts.
Install reconnx:
$ go get github.com/gogama/reconnxConfigure the reconnx plugin on an httpx.Client to begin reconnecting bad
connections:
package main
import (
"github.com/gogama/httpx"
"github.com/gogama/reconnx"
)
func main() {
client := &httpx.Client{}
reconnx.OnClient(client, reconnx.Config{
Latency: reconnx.MachineConfig{
// If the average time taken by "recent" requests to a particular
// hostname is more than 1000.0 milliseconds, start closing
// connections to that hostname.
AbsThreshold: 1000.0,
// If the average time taken by "recent" requests to a particular
// hostname is more than 20.0% slower than the longer-term average
// for that hostname, start closing connections to that hostname.
PctThreshold: 20.0,
// Stop closing connections for a specific hostname once 3 in a row
// have been closed, or once 5 have been closed in total, whichever
// happens first.
ClosingStreak: 3,
ClosingCount: 5,
},
})
// Use the httpx HTTP client.
