Hi Carl, I believe that you are correct in the assumption that HttpClient is holding the connection open for HTTP1.1, the best way to deal with this that I can see is to write your own connection manager that extends whichever connection manager you wanted to use and override the method that adds the connection back into the pool and instead close the connection and discard it.
I was going to write documentation on how to supply a custom connection manager but couldn't think of a reason why anyone would want to, guess we just found one. :) Any example code or caveats you find along this would (if you decide to take it) would be good to hear about. Of course, as Oleg pointed out, Mike Beck is the absolute authority on all this so listen to him over me. :) Adrian Sutton, Software Engineer Ephox Corporation www.ephox.com -----Original Message----- From: Carl A.

Yes, but as I read it, this only returns it to the connectionPool, leaving the connection physically still open. The actual system connection does not seem be freed until the next gc, presumably (and I seem to recall that being unreliable in Java in the past, although that might be ancient history).
