Manage Connectors

In Repox，a Connector is bound to an AsyncHttpClient instance，it is a connection factory. The config of a Connector controls all attributes of the http connections it created to the upstream repo.

• Name
• connectionTimeout：If http connection is not established in this time, this request fails
• idleTimeout：after the http connection is established，if no data in this time, considered dead and retry
• maxConnections：no more connection will be established if exceed this number
• maxConnectionsPerHost：the max connection number one single upstream repo can have
• credentials ：currently support BASIC和DIGEST scheme
• Use Proxy ：every connector can use a proxy, see Manage Proxies

If the connection to the upstream repo is slow, set idleTimeout larger to avoid unnecessary retry。On the other hand, if the connection is fast, set it smaller to detect not found situation earlier.

The default Connector is named “default”。

If a Connector is shared among several upstream repos, set larger maxConnection and maxConnectionPerHost
