HTTP短连接(非持久连接)是指,客户端和服务端进行一次HTTP请求/响应之后,就关闭连接。所以,下一次的HTTP请求/响应操作就需要重新建立连接。
HTTP长连接(持久连接)是指,客户端和服务端建立一次连接之后,可以在这条连接上进行多次请求/响应操作。持久连接可以设置过期时间,也可以不设置。
我为什么没有说HTTP/1.0 默认短连接,HTTP/1.1起,默认长连接呢?因为我第一次看这个说法的时候,以为自己懂了,其实并没有懂。长短连接操作上有什么区别,有的地方出现的持久连接又是怎么回事?
使用设置
这里的设置,我们都以HTTP1.1协议为例子。
设置HTTP短连接
在首部字段中设置Connection:close,则在一次请求/响应之后,就会关闭连接。
设置HTTP长连接,有过期时间
在首部字段中设置Connection:keep-alive 和Keep-Alive: timeout=60,表明连接建立之后,空闲时间超过60秒之后,就会失效。如果在空闲第58秒时,再次使用此连接,则连接仍然有效,使用完之后,重新计数,空闲60秒之后过期。
设置HTTP长连接,无过期时间
在首部字段中只设置Connection:keep-alive,表明连接永久有效。
实现原理
了解怎么设置之后,就开始用起来。然而,问题来了。在请求头中设置Connection:keep-alive,为什么连接空闲一段时间之后,还是断开了呢?这是因为connection字段只有服务端设置才有效。
HTTP操作是请求/响应成对出现的,即先有客户端发出请求,后有服务端处理请求。所以,一次HTTP操作的终点操作在服务端上,关闭也是由服务端发起的。
接下来我们做做测试,以及show code。下面的测试都是使用Spring RestTemplate,封装apache http client进行的。为方便讲解代码,先说明长连接的情况,最后再对其他形式做测试总结。
客户端连接失效时间大于服务端失效时间
如下,为请求日志。客户端设置Connection: Keep-Alive和Keep-Alive: timeout=60, 服务端设置Connection: Keep-Alive和Keep-Alive: timeout=5。

客户端设置的有效期大于服务端的,那么实际连接的有效期呢?三分钟之后再次请求,从连接池中lease连接的时候,提示Connection expired @ Wed Apr 26 14:08:05,即在上一次请求之后的5s失效,说明是服务端的设置生效了。

待读取响应之后,释放连接,即:connHolder.releaseConnection()。调用org.apache.http.impl.conn.PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager#releaseConnection方法。

综上,连接的实际有效时间,是根据response的设置来决定的。

如上,当服务端返回Connection: Close时,客户端接收完响应,便会关闭连接。

## 客户端设置30s超时 [ 2017 - 04 - 26 17 : 45 : 00 DEBUG] (org.apache.http.wire:?) - http-outgoing- 0 >> "Connection: keep-alive[\r][\n]" [ 2017 - 04 - 26 17 : 45 : 00 DEBUG] (org.apache.http.wire:?) - http-outgoing- 0 >> "Keep-Alive: timeout=30[\r][\n]" ## 服务端设置永久连接 [ 2017 - 04 - 26 17 : 45 : 00 DEBUG] (org.apache.http.wire:?) - http-outgoing- 0 << "Connection: keep-alive[\r][\n]" ## 连接将一直保持 [ 2017 - 04 - 26 17 : 45 : 00 DEBUG] (org.apache.http.impl.execchain.MainClientExec:?) - Connection can be kept alive indefinitely |
综上,http连接保持时间是由服务端的消息头connection字段和keep-alive字段定的。
在上面前两种情况,请求的是同一个服务端,那么为什么一个返回的是短连接,一个返回的是长连接呢?这里转一下 这篇文章的解释:
不论request还是response的header中包含了值为close的connection,都表明当前正在使用的tcp链接在请求处理完毕后会被断掉。以后client再进行新的请求时就必须创建新的tcp链接了。 HTTP Connection的 close设置允许客户端或服务器中任何一方关闭底层的连接,双方都会要求在处理请求后关闭它们的TCP连接。
补充
TCP长短连接
在网上搜资料的时候,看到很多“HTTP协议的长连接和短连接,实质上是TCP协议的长连接和短连接”。 HTTP和TCP是不同两层的东西,它们怎么会是一样的呢?HTTP是请求/响应模式的,就是说我们发一个请求一定要有一个回应。最直观的就是,浏览器上发请求,得不到响应就会一直转圈圈。 而TCP并不是一定要有响应。大家以前使用socket模拟一个IM聊天,A跟B打完招呼,完全可以不用等待B的回应,就自己关掉连接的。
TCP keep-alive
另外还有HTTP协议的keep-alive和TCP的keep-alive含义是有差别的。HTTP的keep-alive是为了维持连接,以便复用连接。通过使用keep-alive机制,可以减少tcp连接建立次数,也意味着可以减少TIME_WAIT状态连接,以此提高性能和提高httpd服务器的吞吐率(更少的tcp连接意味着更少的系统内核调用,socket的accept()和close()调用)。但是,长时间的tcp连接容易导致系统资源无效占用。配置不当的keep-alive,有时比重复利用连接带来的损失还更大。
而tcp keep-alive是TCP的一种检测TCP连接状况的机制,涉及到三个参数tcp_keepalive_time, tcp_keepalive_intvl, tcp_keepalive_probes。
当网络两端建立了TCP连接之后,闲置(双方没有任何数据流往来)了tcp_keepalive_time后,服务器内核就会尝试向客户端发送侦测包,来判断TCP连接状况(有可能客户端崩溃、强制关闭了应用、主机不可达等等)。如果没有收到对方的回答(ack包),则会在 tcp_keepalive_intvl后再次尝试发送侦测包,直到收到对方的ack。如果一直没有收到对方的ack,一共会尝试 tcp_keepalive_probes次。如果尝试tcp_keepalive_probes,依然没有收到对方的ack包,则会丢弃该TCP连接。TCP连接默认闲置时间是2小时,一般设置为30分钟足够了。
