    Default cant get rid of http connection

    Hi All,

    I am working on posting multiple request to a server using HTTPClient . First i create a HTTPConnection

    (HTTPClient API: Class HTTPConnection) and then send a post request.

    For every post thats made the HTTPResponse is read and processed. After i process the Response, i try to stop the

    connection, but it doesn't seem to work. Although it stops when i don't play with the response. I am probably missing

    some cleanup here for reponse, but there doesn't seem to be a close method for

    HTTPResponse(HTTPClient API: Class HTTPResponse). This is how the

    code looks ...

     
    HTTPConnection httpCon = null;
    URL myURL = new URL(url);
    httpCon = new HTTPConnection(myURL);
    HTTPConnection.setDefaultAllowUserInteraction(false);
    httpCon.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
     
    ArrayList<NVPair> al = new ArrayList<NVPair>();
    NVPair nvp = new NVPair("Content-Type",
    "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8");
    al.add(nvp);
    NVPair[] nvHeaderArray = (NVPair[]) al.toArray(new NVPair[] {});
    httpCon.setDefaultHeaders(nvHeaderArray);
     
    HTTPResponse response = null;
    response = httpCon.Post(url, data, nvHeaderArray);
     
    InputStream is = response.getInputStream();
    is.close();
    httpCon.stop();

    I am not sure why the old connection doesn't die. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks everyone.

    Thanks,
    Kartik

    I'm not so sure you would need to close the inputstream and stop the connection. What's the actual problem you are seeing?
