Hello Iris, > I wasn't very clear, sorry. I DO read the response, but I perform an abort > in the finally clause to make sure that the connection will really be > closed. Does that make sense?
No, not really. Sending the "Connection: close" header and releasing the connection does a better job of closing the connection. Abort really makes sense only if you didn't read to the end. Have you checked the queue size and worker threads of the web server you are connecting to? Is there a proxy inbetween that might limit the number of connections? Maybe the web server has some protection against DoS attacks that is triggered by your application? cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
