HTTP response code -1 when creating authentication token

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Sometimes I’ll get a message like org.kohsuke.github.HttpException: Server returned HTTP response code: -1, message: 'null' for URL: https://api.github.com/app when creating the installation token here. This does not always happen, but when it happens, I just need to wait for a while and re-try, then it will successfully return the token. I tried to use Apache HTTP Client to make the requests without this library, and it never happens.

To Reproduce Just try to create an installation token using an authenticated GitHub with JWT token may reproduce this, but not always although you haven’t change anything at all.

Expected behavior Returns an installation token.

Thanks!

This is the source of the problem:

Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: 拒绝连接 (Connection refused)
	at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) ~[na:1.8.0_242]

ConnectException in known to be a transient issue which we automatically retry:

https://github.com/github-api/github-api/blob/dd55e8a22c0c828b60a26f98e8a088d77188f747/src/main/java/org/kohsuke/github/GitHubClient.java#L360-L366

The only way you should see that error is if you get it 3 times. Do your logs show the retries happening before the exception is thrown? If so, I’m not sure what more we can do on this level. You might try using extras.okhttp3.OkHttpConnector or it sounds like the Apache Client also fixes this.

@DeKaiju github-branch-source now uses okhttp3 for App token retrieval. It fixes your issue. Please respond if it occurs again.
