I believe this is a bug that was recently fixed. I would recommend using the most recent code from CVS until the next release (alpha 3 or beta 1) comes out.

Hi

I wish to use HttpClient in a servlet based application. The HttpClient will be used to communicate with another internal server (always the same server). This communications will be in HTTP over SSL and I would like to be able to reuse connections to the server without having to do an expensive SSL handshake all the time. I would intend to have a long timeout on the HTTP connection (~15 minutes).

Currently in my servlet I have code similar to below,

class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {

static HttpConnectionManager httpConnectionManager = new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager();
static HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(httpConnectionManager);

public void init() {
httpConnectionManager.setMaxConnectionsPerHost(150);
}


public void doPost(Req req, Response resp) {
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(url.getPath());
post.setRequestContentLength(PostMethod.CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED);
post.addParameter("TestReq", "Hello");
int result = httpClient.executeMethod(post);

post.releaseConnection();
}
}

This does not appear to work when a few users/threads are accessing the servlet at the same time. I get the following error message on the executeMethod():

Recoverable exception caught when reading response - couldn't find valid http header. (or something like that!)

Do you think that this is the correct way to use it if you want to pool connection to same server (should I use static HttpClient)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Sinead
