That's what the connection manager is there for. A connection that is returned to the connection manager is "free", but not necessarily closed. The HostConfiguration passed to the CM when requesting a connection indicates the host:port to which the connection will be targetted, and the connection manager can then choose an open connection to that host. The SimpleConnectionManager has nothing to choose from, of course. HttpClient will detect whether the connection returned by the CM is an open connection to the target host:port and re-use it if so. Otherwise, the HttpConnection object will be pointed to the appropriate host:port and a new (socket) connection is opened. cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
