Hi, all While cleaning the jira 1687, I found that the spec says if connected, both functions should throw IllegalStateException, while RI throws it in HttpURLConnection.getRequestProperties() but HttpURLConnection.getRequestProperty(String) not.
Although personally I would like not to throw exception in both cases since it will not do harm to get properties for request after connected, I will still follow RI although the manner is a little odd if no one objects. Leo Li China Software Development Lab, IBM
