Hi > If I understand your question, there's no good way around this if you *must* use an HTTP call. HTTP is all about stateless, quick-hit requests, and it sounds like you're aiming for more of a stateful, constant-connection protocol. Furthermore, if you're opening connections to different hosts each time, then reusing the same socket is moot anyhow.
Not absolutely. You could use a HTTP Client library, which understands http 1.1 (if the server in questions does), and put connections into a central Map<HostName,Connection>. If queries for the same host occur, you could reuse them, if they are not timed out. This will imply a lot of synchronization and timer programming though. Maybe there is a package, which already does this? May be even commons-httpclient? I dunno.
