This really shouldn't be the case, as the two classes in com.noelios.restlet.ext.httpclient_3.1.jar don't import anything beside org.restlet.* and com.noelios.restlet.http.*. If you have a detailled trace, I'd be interested to have a closer look. > Anyway, when I remove > com.noelios.restlet.ext.httpclient_3.1.jar from my > client's classpath, I do see that the connection is persistent. > Performance-wise, it appears the apache client is about 5% > faster but my testing > is crude. Cool that confirms Sun's analysis of the bug report. I'll add a comment to it. Best regards, Jerome
