Using chronicle network library,

Hello I am trying to send http request using low level library chronicle wire. I was able to get this working with use of java sockets but I am curious about the diff with use of this lib. Bellow the calling code:

private static void call() throws IOException, TimeoutException {
        final String desc = "google.com";
        TCPRegistry.createServerSocketChannelFor(desc);

        EventLoop eg = new EventGroup(true);
        eg.start();
        TcpChannelHub tcpChannelHub = new TcpChannelHub(null, eg, WireType.TEXT, "",
                SocketAddressSupplier.uri(desc), false, null, HandlerPriority.HIGH, new FatalFailureConnectionStrategy(0, false));
        final long tid = tcpChannelHub.nextUniqueTransaction(System.currentTimeMillis());

        final Wire wire = new TextWire(Bytes.elasticByteBuffer());

        wire.writeDocument(true, w -> w.write("tid").int64(tid));
        wire.write("GET / HTTP/1.1\\r\\n");
        wire.write("Host google.com\\r\\n");
        tcpChannelHub.writeSocket(wire, false, false);
        tcpChannelHub.proxyReply(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(1), tid);
    }

I am getting the following error:

1000ms should be enough so the problem is somewhere in the configuration.

While I am sure you could get this to work, it isn't a natural choice to use with HTTP.

However, if this is just an exercise, you should avoid writingDocument as this prepends a 32-bit length before the content which HTTP doesn't expect.

The createServerSocketChannelFor method is for generating a dummy server for testing purposes so it would prevent you from contacting the server you have in mind.

I suggest you get this working with a library designed for HTTP such as the one built into Java.
