You are right. Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Karthikeyani K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 19:37 To: Commons HttpClient Project Subject: RE: parameter of setHost method in HostConfiguration of httpClient Thanks a lot Kalnichevski for your detailed answers, Just one more final clarification .............. our scenario is as follows We have a Servlet which invokes an EJB and the EJB invokes a helper class which uses httpclient to post a request to an ASP page on a different server using NTLM authentication. After reading the response we want to close the connection openned by this httpclient used by the helper class. So using option 1, will close only the exact connection opened by the httpclient in helper class. i.e the connection that is used to invoke the post method on the httpclient. It does not close any arbitrary connection. Am I right? Thanks, Karthi "Kalnichevski, Oleg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The former (option 1) is the correct one.

Still I am not clear.....Here is what I understand...There are two ways of doing it. Which option is the proper way of closing a client connection. Is my understanding correct. 1)public class myHttpConnectionManager extends SimpleHttpConnectionManager public myHttpConnectionManager() {}; public void releaseConnection(HttpConnection connection) { super.releaseConnection(connection); connection.close(); } } HttpClient client = new HttpClient( myHttpConnectionManager); 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().releaseConnection(). or 2) HttpClient client = new HttpClient( myHttpConnectionManager); 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(method.getHostConfiguration()).close(). Does this close the connection that was used to execute the method. Thanks, Karthi "Kalnichevski, Oleg" wrote: Karthi, Host configuration specified at the HTTP method level is not supposed to be propagated back to the HTTP client level. Try this instead // Close the connection client.getHttpConnectionManager().getConnection(method.getHostConfiguration()).close Better yet, subclass the connection manager and make it always close connections upon release (if that is what you want). The way you are trying to get this done seems a little flaky to me. HttpConnectionManager#getConnection method will produce ANY connection for the given host config, not the one that has just been used to execute the request.

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" 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.....
