Rob created HTTPCLIENT-2323:
-------------------------------
Summary: When using HttpClientBuilder without setting a user agent
an expensive operation seems to be used
Key: HTTPCLIENT-2323
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2323
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpClient (classic)
Affects Versions: 4.5.12
Environment: Docker image using maven:3.9.1-eclipse-temurin-17-focal
running in kubernetes
Reporter: Rob
Attachments: Screenshot 2024-02-28 at 12.51.41 PM.png
We have an application that has a fairly high outbound http call rate using
Apache Http Client. We have been profiling it recently using the async profiler
and I noticed that almost 10% of our cpu time is spent in
VersionInfo.getUserAgent.
We use HttpClientBuilder for each call (this seems the correct way to be able
to use different connection pools and settings).
I am guessing because we do not explicitly set the user agent that the client
will go determine the client version and java version and use this... the
automatically generated user agent in our case looks like:
{code:java}
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.5.12 (Java/17.0.7){code}
I have attached the stack trace. I would imagine something like this could be
checked once and used for any further calls. I have not tested it yet but I am
hoping a workaround would be to make sure to set a user agent and then none of
this classloader stuff would need to happen for each call.
