Altering default HTTP client configuration

The above example sets of readTimeout property of the class.

If you wish to have a separate configuration per client then there a couple of options. You can configure Service Discovery manually in application.yml and apply per-client configuration:

Manually configuring HTTP services

micronaut:
    http:
        services:
                urls:
                    - http://foo1
                    - http://foo2

Then simply inject the named client configuration:

Injecting an HTTP client

You can also simply define a bean that extends from and ensuring that the javax.inject.Named annotation is used to name it appropriately:

Defining an HTTP client configuration bean

@Named("twitter")
@Singleton
   public TwitterHttpClientConfiguration(ApplicationConfiguration applicationConfiguration) {
        super(applicationConfiguration);
}

Injecting an HTTP client

Alternatively if you are not using service discovery then you can use the configuration member of @Client to refer to a specific type:

Injecting an HTTP client

@Client(value="https://api.twitter.com/1.1",
        configuration=TwitterHttpClientConfiguration.class)
RxHttpClient httpClient;

If you have a client that needs to handle a significant number of requests then you can benefit from enabling HTTP client connection pooling. The following configuration will enable pooling for the client:

See the API for ConnectionPoolConfiguration for details on available options to configure the pool.
