Reusing active connection

  * method DELETE

my karate-config
fucntion fn() { karate.configure('readTimeout', 30000);}

and my karate.log

The logs show that a tls handhsake is performed for each request. Have also debugged it with wireshark and can confirm it.
The log also show tht socket timeout is set to 0 after a request is handled

Once a connection is established, requests should reuse the same session, this implicates handshake is not repeated

we would prefer you follow the process exactly as described: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate/wiki/How-to-Submit-an-Issue

I don't consider this a priority just yet as no one else has reported this, and this is possibly a non-issue for internal / pre-prod tests. tagging as help wanted

closing this as wontfix and we will insist on a way to replicate in the future

Just dumping thoughts here as it might be related to something I was looking into. Have a team getting some socket timeouts in a huge pipeline (inconsistently and based on timing <5ms probably on handshake or even the client side) and I was wondering about this Http Client configuration. Reading through the previous Apache lib they used to have a multi thread connection mgr. I think the newer version (currently in use) must have something of that nature and some tweaks in the current client might be needed.

For now consider me just as an observer of this thread although I might play around that area of the code based on my availability. Regardless it's probably too sensitive to try to put into 1.3.0 if intention is to release in the next couple weeks.

@mj11pyqe can you see if this commit makes a difference ? 1e7db1f

@ptrthomas A new connection is now opeened and closed for each request. After some testing, I still received timeout issues.
Also, tests I made took 10 mintues with reusing same connections, but took 14 minutes otherwise
