my environment version is 2.0, I am currently working with Unity 5.5, c#. I am experiencing a stall the 3rd time i try to get an HttpWebRequest request stream.
What I want to achieve is having a mechanism of "retry": when I send a request I wait for the response and if it times out I send another request and refresh the time out. I stop this loop when I hit MAX_ATTEMPTS or one of the requests get a response (even if it is from a request that has timed out).
The code that handles this loop is here:
IEnumerator DoRequest()
{
List<IAsyncResult> results = new List<IAsyncResult>(MAX_ATTEMPTS);
int attemptNumber = 1;
while (attemptNumber <= MAX_ATTEMPTS)
{
IAsyncResult result = null;
try
{
result = SendRequest();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
ProcessException(e);
yield break;
}
if (result != null)
{
results.Add(result);
DateTime timeOutTime = DateTime.UtcNow + TIMEOUT;
yield return null;
while (DateTime.UtcNow < timeOutTime)
{
int completedIndex = -1;
if (IsAnyResultCompleted(results, out completedIndex) == true)
{
ProcessResponse(results[completedIndex]);
yield break;
}
else
{
yield return null;
}
}
}
attemptNumber++;
}
if (results.Count != 0)
{
ProcessResponseFail("Timed out");
}
else
{
ProcessResponseFail("Unable to generate a request");
}
}
Where TIMEOUT is a TimeSpan of 10 seconds. And IsAnyResultCompleted is just a for loop that checks if any request has IsCompleted set to true.
Here I create and send the request:
IAsyncResult SendRequest()
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(RequestActionPath);
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Accept = "application/json";
request.Method = "POST";
string json = JsonUtility.ToJson(_dependency);
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
{
sw.Write(json);
sw.Flush();
}
IAsyncResult result = request.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(onResponse), request);
return result;
}
"onResponse" is a cached delegate and it is assigned to this:
void OnResponse(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult)
{
try
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)asynchronousResult.AsyncState;
request.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult);
}
catch (WebException e)
{
string responseStream;
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(e.Response.GetResponseStream()))
{
responseStream = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
Utility.Console.LogError(responseStream);
}
}
I am well aware of this and I also tried to set ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 1000000 but the result is always the same, after 2 sent requests GetRequestStream() in SendRequest stalls for 5 seconds and I cannot understand why.
