Oleg,

Definitely, thank you for clarifying.

By the way, I am going to do http get in different services (at same host or 
not). 
So as I only have one instance of the HTTP Client, can I have different 
threads with different timeout values sharing the same httpClient 
instance without any side effect? 

                HttpParams params = httpClient.getParams();
                HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, timeout);
                HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, timeout);
                HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpget, context);

Regards, Flavio
