OkHttp VS Dubbo

OkHttp shines not only as a tool but also as a case study in sustainable open source practices. By combining consistent funding with a culture of open collaboration, Square has created an environment where rapid innovation meets robust quality assurance. With extensive documentation available on the official OkHttp website, developers worldwide can learn best practices and integrate OkHttp into their projects with ease. Furthermore, the thriving community around OkHttp has provided a rich repository of tutorials, performance benchmarks, and case studies. This collaborative approach not only accelerates problem-solving but also ensures that the tool evolves in tandem with emerging industry trends. As alternative funding models, including tokenized systems, gain traction in the open source arena, OkHttp continues to stand as a testament to the efficacy of conventional corporate-backed contributions.

When building applications that communicate over the web, a reliable and efficient HTTP client is essential. OkHttp, one of the most popular HTTP clients for Java and Android development, stands out as a powerful tool for handling network operations.

Your SDK will need a reliable HTTP client to interact with APIs. For Java, consider HttpClient from the standard library or popular libraries like OkHttp if you need more flexibility.

> Issue summary: Calling the OpenSSL API function SSL_select_next_proto with an empty supported client protocols buffer may cause a crash or memory contents to be sent to the peer.

The heap leak was independently observed in 2014 in the Android okhttp library: https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/437#issuecomment-358...

We will use Square’s Mock Webserver to spin up a mock server which we can use to simulate real api's request to the get coffee endpoint.

I searched in the OkHttp GitHub project for an advice on which values may be suitable for Android apps nowadays but found no answers (only this old issue which does not help). Since we share a single OkHttp client Singleton for all our retrofit APIs and even Coil, I wonder if the default 5 maxRequestsPerHost is really enough.

You can technically add a Content-Length header for each part. It's not forbidden by the RFC, but nor is it common. It caused [problems](https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/2138) for OkHttp, and they eventually removed it. Might be fine for internal-only use, though.

Boundaries are a lot like UUIDs, and rely on the same logic. When generating random data, once you have enough bits, the odds are against that sequence of bits ever having been generated before in the universe.

Let's look at the example from Apache Dubbo:
