Arturo, "unable to find line starting with 'HTTP'" error is reported (1) when response (status line, to be exact) sent by the server is malformed (2) if HttpClient fails to correctly parse the status line sent by the server (3) when the target server accepts connection but then fails to send any response back and simply drops the connection on unsuspecting HttpClient
The former two cases (1 and 2) are highly unlikely. They can easily be tested by examining the wire log produced by HttpClient. The former case (3) is by far more common and can occur when the target server is under heavy load. In this case the problem needs to be addressed on the server side and has nothing to do with HttpClient Hope this helps Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Arturo Esquivel Sanchez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 12:20 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: HttpClient 2.0 problems Hi, The problem that im having is that sometimes i get the following error when trying to connect to url, and then i change something in my code and suddenly works fine, then i change something again and i get again the same error (¿?), if a loop in my code in order to get a response other than -1 it doesn´t work and i get a lots of the error.
