I was able to suppress persistent connections by overriding createComponent and setting the http client's context parameters. I am not sure that is the best way of doing that but it is working now.
It is still unsatisfying to suppress persistent connections as using persistent connections is generally a good thing. However, it seems that the client does not seem to handle a broken connection gracefully; it does not even close the connection if it detects an error during writing to the socket. Only when it tries to read from a closed socket, the connection then closes. I will continue to work on the problem to determine a way of using persistent connections with the Redirector. ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2678501
