In HttpClient 3 HttpMethod provides a releaseConnection method. An OAuth library I'm working with (http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/java/) uses HttpMethod but doesn't provide a way of invoking releaseConnection. As a workaround I'm using getResponseBodyAsStream().close() (even though I don't need the response body). This seems to work but I'm not sure why - anyone know if that's a normal/reliable way of releasing the connection?
Thanks, Jacob Williams
