Sometimes, after executing a POST, if i execute a GET, the client goes in infinite wait state. When digged down, the actual wait is in the MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager, somewhere at line number 509 i guess. I feel the problem is in the connection pool. Any way to set it to size 1? Any way to have a single threaded http connection manager? I know this is not a relevant question to ask here, but since i am facing the pbm while using abdera, i am taking the liberty to ask :) I am struck here from past 3 days... gave up today. Please help me :( Also, in the client doc, a reference is given to the HttpClient performance page that its not good to keep connections open for a long time. How frequently should i call teardown and once again instantiate the client? Right now, i am making a fresh client object every 30 seconds. Your immediate attention will be of great help to me!!! -- regards/Yogesh
