Re: Trying to cancel PostMethod

[Brad O'Hearne]

I might be able to help you, depending on what you are doing in the 
POST.  I just had to do this very thing for a file upload POST.  The 
way I accomplished this was to extend the 
org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.FilePartSource class 
and return my own InputStream, that checked for a cancel status every 
time an I/O read was done.    If you are sending large amounts of data 
across the wire, a cancel could be accomplished in such a manner.  
However, if you have a very small POST, there's probably no point in 
canceling.  The data is going to cross the wire so fast, a user 
wouldn't be able to cancel it in time.

I have an issue with an HttpClient where it is executing a PostMethod

would like to cancel this method.  I have tried to use recycle() and
releaseConnection(), but these don't seem to work.  Any suggestions on 
how I
should handle this issue?  Currently using RC3
