Bug ID: 56115
Summary: Need to provide parameters to Ant's get task to
reliably download behind firewall and proxy
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.47
Hardware: Sun
OS: Solaris
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Packaging
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: mar009...@hotmail.com
In trying to build at work, when the ant process pulls dependencies for Tomcat,
it would often hang and timeout, failing at that particular download.
I debugged some and realized that it was due to default value of get's
"usehttpcaches" property set to true. I edited the build file's trydownload
target to be this:
<target name="trydownload" if="trydownload.run" depends="trydownload.check">
<!-- Downloads a file if not yet downloaded and the source URL is available
-->
<get src="${sourcefile}" retries="${trydownload.retries}"
httpusecaches="${trydownload.httpusecaches}" dest="${destfile}" />
</target>
and I added these in build.properties.default:
trydownload.retries=3
trydownload.httpusecaches=false
This would keep the default behavior implied with ant's get task. Then I
overrode that httpusecaches value in my build.properties file, and it reliably
works all the time. I left the retries value as it didn't change my results
but thought it could prove useful for others.
