Hi Bill Please see HTTPCORE-272 for the rationale of returning Cancellable from the #handle method https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-272 If you can think of a more elegant way of modeling notification for a long running process of the underlying connection being closed prematurely, please do feel free to propose it. > All of the examples simply > return null. Which is fine if the process does not want to be notified. > The JavaDocs documentation has nothing other than the > cancel method's signature: boolean cancel(). What is the boolean which > is returned by this method? Returns true if the process has been canceled as a result of the method call, false otherwise (the process has completed or been canceled previously). I'll update javadocs before BETA1 or GA release the latest. cheers Oleg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
