             Summary: DefaultHttpClientConnectionOperator
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-2288
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2288
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient (classic)
    Affects Versions: 4.5.14
            Reporter: Liam Miller-Cushon


DefaultHttpClientConnectionOperator has logic to try to connect to all 
addresses that a particular host name resolves to: 
[https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/blob/7aca075c6e49c3d2f90dbca081d08ebeb36e2f57/httpclient/src/main/java/org/apache/http/impl/conn/DefaultHttpClientConnectionOperator.java#L153]

However it handles ConnectException and several other exceptions, and recent 
JDK versions started throwing SocketException in some situations that previous 
thread ConnectException: 
[https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u/commit/1d79d3800741d227ac6a588856279e528406c000#diff-b76813f1ff433c5141f02fc9c20c2aae09b255ba9574ff67e49c6e86349235f6L418-R419]

This means that the retries no longer work, leading to failures like the 
following that could be resolved by retrying:

```

```

The latest 5.x versions catch IOException instead of handling more subtypes, so 
they are not affected by this issue: 
https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/commit/d5e1392840fcbd9ff9d9c5b19d8ed9da2883c224#diff-c8d113aa21d5fe2678c4c36f731cda6ed01d172d7e47e4d9fc527a5d4a921077R154

This bug only affects 4.5.x, but would you consider accepting a fix if I sent a 
PR?
