Applies to:
Oracle Weblogic Server - Version 10.3 to 10.3.2Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
A webservice call that uses weblogic.net.http.HttpURLConnection has a 2nd call automatically tried when connection.getResponseCode() used in the code when there is a SocketTimeoutException. This occurs in the customer's code in a finally statement.
Issue discovered for a customer who has an application deployed in Weblogic container, in which, there is a client that sends Http POST requests to a REST type Web Service hosted by a third party. The client uses weblogic.net.http.HttpsURLConnection to make a http POST (same result with weblogic.net.http.HttpURLConnection). When a socket timeout is encountered, the http request is retried automatically after the specified ReadTimedOut param.
From testing it was discovered that this occurs because of connection.getResponseCode() in the finally statement.
