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

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

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.....


Thanks,
Karthi
