My reason for wanting to join was to thank all of you for a great library and to ask if anybody has code available to do exactly what the docs suggest in this section of the user guide: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/performance.html#Connection_persistence
"The easiest way to disable connection persistence is to provide or extend a connection manager that force-closes connections upon release in the releaseConnection ( http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpConnectionManager.html#releaseConnection(org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection) ) method." I would like to be able to force connections to not be persistent while still using the multi-threaded http connection manager. If there is code already available, that would be great. I think that just changing the current multi-threaded http connection manager might be trivial, but I'm not exactly sure what code to add to force the connections to close. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jakarta/commons/proper/httpclient/trunk/src/java/org/apache/commons/httpclient/MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager.java?view=markup Thanks Jeremy Hicks Novell, Inc., the leading provider of information solutions http://www.novell.com
