My thinking was - If there is no obvious "close" method anywhere, and all examples I've seen of the HttpClient do not mention a close/finish type method then you would assume that it just handles it for you!
Looks like that is not always the case, at least in a timely fashion. Thanks ernestw I'll have a look at consumeContent, but I got around the issue another way which I documented in a blog post: http://androidisland.blogspot.com/2010/11/httpclient-and-connectionpooltimeoutexc.html Regards, Eurig Jones On Nov 17, 3:02 pm, ernestw <[email protected]> wrote: > I've run into a similar issue which was solved by making sure to > always call consumeContent on the HttpEntity contained in the > HttpResponse object (regardless of the response code).
