No, I'm definitely calling .start (), and it's definitely running as a background thread otherwise doing the same thing with a little post data and lots of post response wouldn't work either. That's why I don't understand this because it seems to correlate with the writing of http post data and nothing else. Which doesn't make any sense to me.
