Re: [cf-dev] CoAP retransmission on DTLS Fatal Alert ? 
It's done : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=473300

Simon,

I totally agree that it should be Californium's responsibility to detect this kind of failure and notify application layer clients accordingly. What you suggest makes sense to me at first sight.

Can you open a bugzilla bug for this that I can refer to when starting work on it?

Regards,
Kai

Subject: [cf-dev] CoAP retransmission on DTLS Fatal Alert ?

Hi,
    Currently, when we use Californium and try to send a request through
DTLSConnector, if the request failed because of DTLS Fatal Alert (e.g.
bad certificate), this is not visible at californium level. I mean
Californium will never know thats something goes wrong, so at CoAP
level we don't get a response for the request and we try to retransmit
it until CoAP timeout or manual cancellation.

    I suppose this not really, the expected behavior.

    With the ErrorHandler class added by Kai in scandium, we can
workaround the problem with some gymnastic by cancelling the request
when we receive an Alert from the peer we requested. But this could
make sense if that was managed by Californium.
     I think we should not try to retransmit request after a DTLS fatal
error and we should add something like onError(String) method on
MessageObserver to inform sender that the request failed.

     I looked at the code the main issues was :
    1) add a way to get error from RawDataChannel.
    2) retrieve exchange(s?) from address/port only ( we don't have
message ID because we don't have CoAP message :p)
    3) notify all MessageObserver that the request failed
    4) set the exchange(s?) as completed

    Does it make sense ?

Simon
