Hi,

I am using HttpClient for generating a FileDownLoad. Let me give a small explanation of the scenario.

I have Webservice which returns me a file as an InputStream. I am using
Stripes as the Web Framework.
Here goes the code:

       .....Other code
       try {
             HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
             GetMethod getMethod = new GetMethod(assetURL);
             bufferedInputstream = new
BufferedInputStream(getMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream());
      } catch (Exception e) {
      } finally {
             getMethod.releaseConnection();
      }
      StreamingResolution streamingResolution = new
StreamingResolution(contentType, bufferedInputstream);

// set the fileName in the StreamingResolution.This in turn sets the

appropriate response header.
    streamingResolution.setFilename(fileName + "." + extension)

    // return the FileInputStream wrapped in the resolution
    return streamingResolution;

The problem I am facing is, If i close the connection in the finally block,
it throws IOException: Tring to read from an already closed Stream.

So can you tell me when will be the correct time to close the connection?

That is what HTTP connection manager is for.
