Hi,

I'm using the following method to open a url and download:

public class MyWebRequest
{
    public HttpGet httpget;

    public void get(String url) {
        httpget = new HttpGet(url);
        DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
        InputStream is = response.getEntity().getContent();
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(500);
        int c = -1;
        while ((c = is.read()) != -1) {
            sb.append((char)c);
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
}

instances of this class are created and run in a background thread. If
I need to abort the operation, can I simply do this from another
thread safely:

    MyRequestObject.httpget.abort();

is the abort() method thread-safe? If another thread calls abort()
before any work is actually done, that's still ok right? The request
will just immediately fail?

Thanks
