Hi, I have a problem when trying to comparing the speed between JDK HttpURLConnection and HttpClient. Now I have two methods, one is performed with jdk(1.5) httpurlConnection, the other is performed with httpClient( 3.0.1). Both of them try to download the same webpage(http://jakarta.apache.org).After< http://jakarta.apache.org%29.After>testing, the average time which performed JDK httpurlconnection is 200ms, so as the one which performed httpclient.That means their speeds are almost the same. So, since HttpClient use persistence connection default but JDK do not, why httpClient's speed could not be more fast than JDK?
What JDK are you using? IIRC, the JDK's HttpUrlConnection class has defaulted to persistent HTTP connections since at least JDK 1.1 days. Another problem is, is it normal to httpclient to use 200ms to download a
page like http://jakarta.apache.org? I mean, when using persistence connection, maybe this could not be accepted.
The timing of something like this, especially on a relatively small page, is going to be so dominated by the speed of your connection to the Internet that "acceptable" is in the eyes of the beholder. Is it fast enough for your requirements? If so, it doesn't matter which technology you choose -- they both work. Is it too slow? Then it doesn't matter which technology you choose -- they both fail to meet your needs. Is your average need to download multiple megabytes instead of a couple hundred kbytes? Then the test you ran is totally meaningless because it did not reflect your real requirements. Any help will be great appreciated Craig
