HttpClient does not do any active connection reclaiming, except when the resources are reused. In the case of the SimpleHttpConnectionManager the connection is never closed/reopened unless it is required for a new method execution. The case for MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager is similar though a little more complicated. It keeps a pool of connections with a per-host and total connection limit. Again these connections are never closed until a request for a new connection warrants it.

Hi All,
I'd like to clarify a point about HttpClient that I do not fully understand. How/when does the actual connection to a server close? I understand that MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager (and possibly SimpleConnectionManager as well) will keep the connection alive and reuse it for subsequent HTTP requests. Is there a way to set a limit on how long the connection should be kept alive before waiting for a subsequent request to reuse that connection?
Thanks, Sam
