Thanks Kalnichevski. But I have specified the host at the method level : for eg: HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); PostMethod method = new PostMethod(http://test:80/test.html); // After executing the post method when i try to close the connection, i get the error message host is null method.releaseConnection(); // Close the connection client.getHttpConnectionManager().getConnection(client.getHostConfiguration()).close() There is a method setHost(URI uri) in HostConfiguration. So I was thinking this should be the URI same as that specified in the PostMethod.....i.e that of the server Thanks, Karthi
"Kalnichevski, Oleg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Karthi, HostConfiguration associated with HttpClient instance represents default host information. These settings are used only when the target host and port are not explicitly specified on the HttpMethod level. HttpClient agent = new HttpClient(); agent.getHostConfiguration().setHost("localhost", 8080); HttpMethod absolute = new GetMethod("www.whatever.com/stuff"); // will target the host specified in the URL HttpMethod relative = new GetMethod("/stuff"); // no host name given in the URL. Will target the default host, that is 'localhost' Hope this clarifies things a little Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Karthikeyani K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 15:39 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: parameter of setHost method in HostConfiguration of httpClient Hi, When we set Host on the HostConfiguration of the httpClient using setHost method (setHost(host)), does the host correspond to the server host or the client host. When I try to close a connection by using cleint.getHttpConnectionmanager.getConnection(client.getHostConfiguration()).close, I am getting the error stating host is null. So I have to set the host on the hostConfiguration, so does this host correspond to the server host or the client host itself. Please advice.....
