Why? historical reasons, mostly. Take a look at the new HttpMultiClient class in the latest nightly build and see if that fits your needs better. If your doing most of your commuications with a single host then HttpClient works fine. If you need to talk with multiple hosts, then HttpMultiClient and the related UrlMethods may work better. > 2. when i do close a session to a web server and then later open up a > session to that server again (using the same httpclient), is my state > preserved? Yes. > 3. is there any way to set the User-Agent string for an httpclient? Nope, but this has come up before. If there isn't one already, add an enhancement request to the Bugzilla database so we don't forget. > 4. is the httpclient object threadsafe? that is to say, can i have > several threads calling executeMethod simultaneously? No. HttpMultiClient is. > - donald > Marc Saegesser -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
