Guillaume, Ideally you do. Per default HttpClient uses SimpleHttpConnectionManager as its connection manager. Even though SimpleHttpConnectionManager employs only one connection, it does keep it alive whenever possible. This renders SimpleHttpConnectionManager susceptible to the same dangling connection problem, albeit not at the same level as MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager The trouble is that SimpleHttpConnectionManager does not provide shutdown method in the 2.0 branch. So, if you do have to instantiate tons of HttpClients in your application, you should seriously consider providing a custom connection manager that can be cleanly shut down Hope this helps Oleg *************************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
