Hello Himanshu, you can create your own HttpState object and pass it to each method invocation. That should solve your first problem.
Why don't you leave the connection re-use to the connection manager? For an application, it shouldn't matter at all whether it is the same or a different connection. If it is an absolute requirement, you can still implement your own connection manager. cheers, Roland Himanshu Thube <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03.06.2004 18:24 Please respond to "Commons HttpClient Project" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: HttpConnection and HttpState reuse problem Hi In my class I need two connections to same host and different URL's. For connecting first time, I want to get the HttpState and HttpConnection. Later just execute the method using the same HttpConnection and HttpState. However from API I found, to get the state I need to execute the method with HttpClient for the first time as only HttpClient is able to return the HttpState. For the later executions of GetMethod I am not able to reuse the HttpConnection used for first execution as HttpClient doesn't provide me a handle to the HttpConnection which it used for first execution. My existing code is as follows : *For first invocation *: httpsclient = new HttpClient(); int statusCode = -1; String [] response=new String[2]; httpsget = new GetMethod(uri.toString()); statusCode = httpsclient.executeMethod(httpsget); state=httpsclient.getState(); *For Later invocations : (now I have the HttpsState but no handle to HttpConnection used :( so have to create a new HttpConnection)* if(con==null) { try { con=new HttpConnection(uri.getHost(), uri.getPort(), getProtocol()); } catch (URIException e1) { e1.printStackTrace(); } } try { httpsget.recycle(); httpsget.setPath(connectUrl); httpsget.execute(state, con); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
