[android-developers] HttpURLConnection + keep alive timeout? (the way forward starting with gingerbread)
Hi, It looks like the android team will be investing more resources in support / improvement of the HttpURLConnection class, based on this dev post here: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/09/androids-http-clients.html For Gingerbread and better, HttpURLConnection is the best choice New applications should use HttpURLConnection; it is where we will be spending our energy going forward. It looks like connection pooling is supported by HttpURLConnection, but seems to have a timeout of 5 seconds? (I can't find any documentation on this). Is there any way to increase the duration that connections are kept alive? I'm creating connections to https://example.com/echo?param=abc;. If the user initiates connections in intervals 5 seconds, I can see the https setup is avoided, hinting me that the connection is being reused. But if the connections are spaced out 5 seconds, I see the entire https setup done again, making me think the connections are not being reused. Is there a way for us to increase this timeout?

Thank you Sorry if I didn't answer your original question but just post a comment: it seems that this eventually just calls down to apache harmony, which has been abandoned recently: I wonder how this will influence further development...

Assuming Harmony was modelled after the JDK, there is some info about keep-alive here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/net/http-keepalive.html Also make sure your server is not closing the connections. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
