Research direction

Start by reading cloudfoundry-client-reactor/src/main/java/org/cloudfoundry/reactor/util/AbstractReactorOperations.java and compare its token-refresh behavior with the related CF CLI issue #1582. Determine how expired tokens interact with CF CC's 429 response, then verify that the client handles this scenario without exhausting the unauthenticated rate limit.

Description

enhancement triaged

Hi All,

This issue is same as related to one opened on CF CLI

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/issues/1582

CF CC has a rate limit of unauthenticated calls per IP. In our situation some of the CF applications share the same IP due to NAT.

In case of performing operations with expired access tokens from multiple apps we easily reach the unauthenticated rate limit and CF responds with 429.

I checked the code in AbstractReactorOperations

Token is only refreshed when 401 unauthorised is thrown.

It will be helpful we can check the suggestions mentioned the attached bug.

Please let me know if i am missing something or if the same CLI bug does not apply to CF java client.

Best Regards,
Saurav
