使用httpclient时候，出现“Too many open files”问题

最近接触的sendHttpPostRequest的问题比较多，近期碰到了关于 "java.net.SocketException: Too many open files" 的问题

异常信息如下：

    at com.huawei.iread.duibaintf.duiba.duibamall.GetDuibaExchangeResultNotifyImpl.getDuibaExchangeResultNotify(GetDuibaExchangeResultNotifyImpl.java:91)

其实也就是因为 sendPostRequestWithCode 和 getDuibaExchangeResultNotify 方法调用了 HttpClient.executeMethod 引起的。

查找linux服务器中open files文件数，发现好多是下面的情况，意思是socket资源泄漏，进程使用的sock未关闭：

Java源代码中是这样写的：

try{
    httpMethod = new PostMethod(url)
    // 设置header信息，传输XML格式的
    httpMethod.setRequestHeader(CONTENT_TYPE_NAME, CONTENT_TYPE_VALUE_XML_UTF_8);
    httpMethod.setRequestEntity(entity);

    HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager());//使用连接池技术创建
    httpClient.executeMethod(httpMethod);
}catch{...}
finally{

    if (null != httpMethod)
    {
        httpMethod.releaseConnection();//释放资源
    }

}

从上面看，最后， httpMethod.releaseConnection();//释放资源。实际上，HttpClient建立Socket时 ，post.releaseConnection()并没有真正关闭连接，而是将该连接提交给 MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager，等待复用。而http的连接是等待timeout才会自动断开的，所以，当用完系统的句柄后，自然会报Too many open files。

所以，应该添加下面的代码进行释放socket：

try{
    httpMethod = new PostMethod(url)
    // 设置header信息，传输XML格式的
    httpMethod.setRequestHeader(CONTENT_TYPE_NAME, CONTENT_TYPE_VALUE_XML_UTF_8);
    httpMethod.setRequestEntity(entity);
    //请求头信息中添加关闭连接
    httpMethod.addRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

    HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager());//使用连接池技术创建
    httpClient.executeMethod(httpMethod);
    //连发三次机制                           
    httpClient.getParams().setBooleanParameter("http.protocol.expect-continue", false);
}catch{...}
finally{
    if (null != httpMethod)
    {
        httpMethod.releaseConnection();//释放资源
    }

}

还有一种说法：

linux的文件打开数超过了默认的1024个文件，具体查看linux下面的文件打开最大值的命令ulimit -a，出现信息如下：

core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) 69631
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 1024
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority              (-r) 0
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 69631
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimite

其中open files                      (-n) 1024 默认为1024，
有说解决方法是加大文件打开的最大值，ulimit -n 8192
但是由于Httpclient引起的。当并发访问量过大的时候，这个方法只是治标不治本的。所有还是解决Httpclient远程请求所造成Socket没有释放，使用上面的方法较好。
