@tasso94 what the google http client looked at rather than the apache http client? Google’s client has built in support for long polling: https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/google-http-java-client/backoff

Hi Stephen,

if I understood it correctly, the Google HTTP Client realizes a client-side backoff strategy, right?

For the External Task Clients it is planned to make use of the recently introduced Long Polling to ‘Fetch and Lock’ External Tasks feature, so the back-off strategy is handled by the REST API on the server-side.

Cheers,
Tassilo
