I have another silly question as a non-specialist regarding http and
networking...
What do I need a HttpConnectionManager for? What is the expensive thing of a
connection that it comes to a need for sharing? Why can't I just create
fresh connections all the time?
Others are much more qualified to answer this question, but in
general I've found it both easier and high performing to use a
connection manager.
For example, when a connection can be reused (you're making another
request to the same server) then the connection mgr takes care of
trying to reuse the connection for you, which is definitely a speed
win.
Note that with the MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager, you create one
HttpClient, and then re-use it for all of your (multi-threaded)
requests.
