getResponseAsStream() slow to close

[tim . austin]

Hi All,

I am using HttpClient 3 to send serialised objects to a servlet and back
again. I use the getResponseAsStream() on the post method to deserialise
responses. All works fine, until I sent back larger objects. Then the
close() on the inputStream or the releaseConnection() blocks for several
seconds, even thought I have already read the Object in. HEre is my code

// Send the message using Http Client
// and the MultiThreaded Connection Manager

            client = new HttpClient(HttpMessagingProvider
                    .getConnectionManager());


            method = new PostMethod(host);

            InputStreamRequestEntity entity = new InputStreamRequestEntity(
                    getInputStream(inMessage));

            method.setRequestEntity(entity);

            method.setRequestHeader("Content-Type",
"application/octet-stream");

            client.executeMethod(method);


    long freddy = inMethod.getResponseContentLength();

        if (freddy <= 0)
        {
            throw new IOException("only " + freddy
                    + " bytes sent from server services");
        }

        BufferedInputStream bis =
            new BufferedInputStream( inMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream() );

        int num = bis.available();

        ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream( bis );
        IAsynchMessage message = (IAsynchMessage) ois.readObject();
        bis.close(); // blocks here when freddy is over 8000 bytes (
approx)
