Hi Florian,

Thank you very much for the advice!  We will consult with Android developer 
support on how we can resolve this issue.

I know in one case we are definitely using a proxy server.  I'll see if we can 
try without a proxy server.

Subject: Re: Odd behavior when Android OpenCMIS Client reuses a connection that 
server tried to close

 Hi Brian,

 OpenCMIS uses the Android HTTP client library and doesn't control the  TCP 
connections directly. What you described happens a level below  OpenCMIS.
 The Android HTTP client has known issues and those issues vary with the  
Android version. To find a solution to this specific problem, please  refer to 
the Android documentation.
 There seems to be an issue with HTTP POST (-> createDocument)  somewhere. Are 
you using a proxy server? If so, can you retry without  it?

 There are actually two HTTP client libraries in Android. OpenCMIS uses  by 
default the library recommended for Gingerbread and better.
 You can switch to the older library by setting the session parameter  
HTTP_INVOKER_CLASS to  
"org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.bindings.spi.http.ApacheClientHttpInvoker".
 That may solve this issue ... and create others.
