Looking at http://www.docjar.com/html/api/org/apache/cxf/transport/http/HTTPConduit.java.html I can see that a HttpURLConnectionFactory is used to obtain the actual connection.
My doubt is: the factory used in the default configuration (http, no https) do use some kind of pool of efective connections (maybe of some fixed/configurable size) or a connection is established every time that a reqeust is maded? Thanks in advance.
