Hello Paolo, HttpConnection.isOpen just checks the boolean flag in the connection object, it doesn't perform any calls to the underlying socket. Try calling conn.closeIfStale() before checking if the connection is open: http://jakarta.apache.org/httpcomponents/httpclient-3.x/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpConnection.html#closeIfStale()
I can't tell whether that is reliable, though. hope that helps, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
