IIB Continues Processing HTTP Requests After A Timeout Occurs

When a HTTP / SOAP-over-HTTP Request is received by an IIB Message Flow (via a HTTP Input or SOAP Input node), if a timeout occurs for that request, IIB returns the client a timeout response (error response) - this is good... the product fulfills its obligation to respond to the Service Consumer.

However, the Message Flow continues to process the original Request thread.

The product should provide an option (perhaps configurable on the HTTP Input or SOAP Input node) to cut-short the processing of the HTTP request thread when a timeout is signalled.

    RFE Review. As part of our standard process for reviewing RFEs we have recently discussed this RFE and wish to note that it remains of long term interest to us. It is regrettable that we have not yet managed to prioritize this requirement for immediate action, but we will continue to monitor for popularity and keep it in mind for future plans. Status is maintained as Uncommitted Candidate.

    Thank you for raising this RFE, and for taking the trouble to outline a detailed Use Case. As you say, in this situation different users might well expect subtle differences in behaviour - some preferring a more invasive policy than current exhibited by IIB of interrupting the flow thread. It is likely that to react to this requirement we would first need to implement some structural changes in the area of Workload Management Policy to allow for interrupting message flow threads (even if they are currently awaiting a response within a flow from a third party system). Status of this RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
