All Known Implementing Classes:

@Beta public interface HttpIOExceptionHandler

Handles an IOException in an HTTP request.

For example, this might be used to handle an IOException with BackOff policy. 

public static class HttpBackOffIOExceptionHandler implements HttpIOExceptionHandler {
BackOff backOff;
Sleeper sleeper;
public boolean handle(HttpRequest request, boolean supportsRetry) throws IOException {
if (!supportsRetry) {
return false;
}
try {
return BackOffUtils.next(sleeper, backOff);
} catch (InterruptedException exception) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
return false;
}
}
}

      boolean handleIOException(HttpRequest request, boolean supportsRetry) throws IOException
      Invoked when an IOException is thrown during an HTTP request.

      There is a simple rule that one must follow: If you modify the request object or modify its execute interceptors in a way that should resolve the error, you must return true to issue a retry.

      Parameters:
      request - request object that can be read from for context or modified before retry
      supportsRetry - whether there will actually be a retry if this handler return true . Some handlers may want to have an effect only when there will actually be a retry after they handle their event (e.g. a handler that implements backoff policy).
      Returns:
      whether or not this handler has made a change that will require the request to be re-sent.
      Throws:
      IOException
