Ben, Try the following: (1) disable stale connections check
SimpleHttpConnectionManager connman = new SimpleHttpConnectionManager(); connman.setConnectionStaleCheckingEnabled(false); HttpClient client = new HttpClient(connman); http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/SimpleHttpConnectionManager.html#setConnectionStaleCheckingEnabled(boolean) (2) configure HttpClient to use HTTP/1.0 instead of HTTP/1.1 GetMethod get = new GetMethod("http://192.168.0.1/commons-httpclient-2.0-final.zip";); get.setHttp11(false); http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpMethodBase.html#setHttp11(boolean) See if any these options makes any difference Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Ben Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 06:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: GetMethod Performance Hi, I have noticed significant performance difference between using HttpClient and Socket. I tried to use GetMethod to download a 2MB file from a Webserver sitting in the LAN. When I do it with HttpClient, it takes around 13-15 seconds while it will only take less than half a second with Socket. I was running the code below on a Sun Blade 100 with Solaris 8 installed. J2SDK1.4.2_03 and HttpClient 2.0 final were used. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ben HttpClient code: ---------------- HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); GetMethod get = new GetMethod("http://192.168.0.1/commons-httpclient-2.0-final.zip";); int statusCode = client.executeMethod(get); System.out.println("Status Code: " + statusCode); int size = 0; InputStream in = get.getResponseBodyAsStream(); byte [] data = new byte[10000]; int read = 0; while ((read = in.read(data)) > 0) { size += read; } in.close(); get.releaseConnection(); Socket Code: ------------ Socket soc = new Socket("192.168.0.11", 80); InputStream in = soc.getInputStream(); OutputStream out = soc.getOutputStream(); String command = "GET http://192.168.0.1/commons-httpclient-2.0-final.zip HTTP/1.0\nUser-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/2.0final\nHost: 10.0.3.11\n\n"; byte [] send = command.getBytes(); out.write(send); byte b[] = new byte[4096]; int size = 0; int count = 0; while( (size = in.read(b)) >= 0) { count += size; } in.close(); out.close(); soc.close(); --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
