Anytime you're accessing a URL that begins with HTTPS you're using SSL, right? I didn't set this up, but I'm pretty sure the URL I'm accessing is behind SSL, and yes, I'm using the same HttpClient instance and just creating a new GetMethod every time through my while loop.

Stephen, Just to make sure that I understand you right, are you talking about SSL session or HTTP session? If the latter is the case, does your application use a session cookie, and if so, do you use the same HttpState instance for consecutive HTTP GETs?
