The connection manager blocks because it has run of free connections.
Apparently your application is leaking connections.

It will block infinitely because the connection manager timeout value is
set to zero.
ThreadSafeClientConnManager.getConnection:
HttpRoute[{}->http://localhost:8080], timeout = 0

Yes, it does.

Because of a connection leak somewhere. It can be either in your code or
in Httpclient itself. Please upgrade to the latest SVN snapshot and
re-test. If the problem persists, let me know.
