PoolingClientConnectionManager and createConnectionOperator

[John Sheehy]

Hi,

I'm trying to override the entity serializer for a http POST like so

PoolingClientConnectionManager cm = new
PoolingClientConnectionManager(schemeRegistry) {
    @Override
    protected ClientConnectionOperator createConnectionOperator(final
SchemeRegistry schemeRegistry) {
        return new DefaultClientConnectionOperator(schemeRegistry) {
            @Override
            public OperatedClientConnection createConnection() {
                return new DefaultClientConnection() {
                    @Override
                    protected EntitySerializer createEntitySerializer() {
                        return new MyEntitySerializer(new
StrictContentLengthStrategy());
                    }
                };
            }
        };
    }
}

However, the createConnection() overriden function is never called. Looking
at the code, it seems there's a line in HttpConnPool (used internally by
PoolingClientConnectionManager) that simply instantiates a
DefaultHttpConnection().

Is there any way to override this behaviour?

Thanks a lot,
John
