No. Threads call a certain getResponse() function which does a httpclient.execute() call. We do a response.getEntity().getContent() and pass the InputStream to the caller. So, you see, the HttpEntity is not handed over to anyone as is.
>From the Http Components documentation, I gathered that even if the stream is read till the end, the connection would be released to the manager. Is this correct? So if the caller of getResponse() is passing this InputStream to a parser and a parser reads the entire Stream and closes it, the connection should be realeased. Is this how it works?
