Hi,
I would like to know whether it is necessary to invoke
httpClient.getConnectionManager(). closeIdleConnections(1000), after
creating
an httpClient (httpClient = new HttpClient()), creating an httpmethod,
executing the httpmethod and performing method.releaseConnection(), to
ensure that the http connections are properly closed, since I am creating an
httpClient instance for each and every http request (since I am not using
MultiThreadedConnectionManager).
If I am creating a httpClient instance (without using
MutliThreadedConnectionManager), Does a SimpleHttpConnectionManager gets
created for each httpClient creation behind the scenes.
Can I perform a type cast like this
((SimpleHttpConnectionManager)httpClient.getConnectionManager).shutdown() to
ensure complete release of connections.
If I am not using the httpClient instance anymore after executing a http
method request, do you recommend closing off idle connections / shut down
ConnectionManager, to avoid creation of too many open sockets in CLOSE_WAIT
state.
Can I re-use the same httpClient instance to perform http method executions,
if I am not using a multi-threaded Connection Manager?
Thanks,
Sujith
