Look at the test code I have written below.
Using pure java I set an Authenticator and make a URI call to get some xml data and convert it to an object.
I wrote the code below to test performance of hotpotato (netty) vs. pure java (no pipelining).
The trouble is, I can’t figure out how to Authenticate my request with hotpotato or netty, code for either is acceptable, I just want to test the performance diff (i.e. see how many requests will be performed in 5 seconds).
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Authenticator.setDefault(new MyAuthenticator("DummyUser", "DummyPassword"));
int timeToTestFor = 5000; //5 seconds;
int count = 0;
System.out.println("Start time");
long starttime = System.currentTimeMillis();
do {
URL url = new URL(
"http://example.com/rest/GetData.ashx?what=pizza&where=new%20york&visitorId=12345&sessionId=123456");
SearchResultsDocument doc = SearchResultsDocument.Factory.parse(url);
count++;
} while (System.currentTimeMillis() - starttime < timeToTestFor);
System.out.println("DONE Total count=" + count);
System.out.println("Netty/Hotpotatoe Start time");
count = 0;
starttime = System.currentTimeMillis();
do {
// Create & initialise the client
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
client.init();
// Setup the request
HttpRequest request = new DefaultHttpRequest(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_0,
HttpMethod.GET, "/rest/GetData.ashx?what=pizza&where=new%20york&visitorId=12345&sessionId=123456");
// Execute the request, turning the result into a String
HttpRequestFuture future = client.execute("example.com", 80, request,
new BodyAsStringProcessor());
future.awaitUninterruptibly();
// Print some details about the request
System.out.println("A >> " + future);
// If response was >= 200 and <= 299, print the body
if (future.isSuccessfulResponse()) {
System.out.println("B >> "+future.getProcessedResult());
}
// Cleanup
client.terminate();
count++;
} while (System.currentTimeMillis() - starttime < timeToTestFor);
System.out.println("DONE Total count=" + count);
}
Here is working example of using basic authentication with Netty only. Tested with Jetty as a server requiring basic authentication.
