Hi, Happy New Year to all, and congratulations for the 3.0 release.
I'm working on a GUI program, where HttpMethods are executed on the request of the user. As e.g. in a Webbrowser, I would like to enable unpatient users to cancel requests that take too long.
I currently don't see any possibilities to cancel a running request from a separate thread, though. Neither HttpMethod.abort() nor Thread.interrupt() have any effect. The only remaining option appears to be pushing pending requests in the background and letting them terminate/timeout silently. I'd be interested in hearing how other people are dealing with this issue...
While thinking about this problem, I'm having problems understanding the purpose of the HttpMethod.abort() method. It clearly isn't intended for use from separate threads because no synchronization is performed. But if abort() should only be called from the executing thread, I don't see the point - why not just stop processing a request and call releaseConnection() immediately?
Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Oliver Köll --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
