Hi, I'm using http-commons to make some calls to a http server. There are situations where I may have to make a large volumen of calls in a short period of time.
My problem is that http-commons seems to be eating connections, resulting in eventually getting this error java.net.BindException: Address already in use: connect A quick netstat from the command prompt shows thousands of sockets with status TIME_WAIT. Here's my simple test code: public void testHttpGet() { HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); GetMethod get = new GetMethod(); try { for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { get.setPath("http://localhost:8081/"); int code = client.executeMethod(get); byte[] responseBody = get.getResponseBody(); get.recycle(); System.out.println(i + ", response: " + code); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { get.releaseConnection(); } } I checked the tutorial and I've made sure to read the response body. I call recycle() in the loop and yet it still uses a new connection every time. All help very much appreciated. Cheers, Brad. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
