The HTTP session isn't controlled by the Java application, the media framework has its own HTTP client.
The Java proxy object for the network session is the MediaPlayer object which is owned by VideoView. You could retain a reference to the VideoView object across the orientation change, so that it keeps its internal MediaPlayer reference. You need to be careful because holding on to a MediaPlayer object can have significant implications on battery life, so you want to make sure you release it if your activity no longer has the focus. Unfortunately, the current VideoView design doesn't work well for restoring state because it starts playing immediately after setVideoURI ().
