HttpClient 4.1 & Threading

[Gordon Ross <gr...@ucs.cam.ac.uk>]

Using HttpClient 4.1, I'm creating an instance by:

client = DefaultHttpClient(new ThreadSafeClientConnManager());

Which gives me a thread-safe environment. But how separate are the thread environments ?

If I set headers, cookies, etc. are these shared between all threads ? Or does ThreadSafeClientConnManager keep these all separate ?

Thanks,

GTG

Objects such as CookieStore set at the HttpClient level will be shared
by the threads that use that client to execute requests. Objects set in
a local HttpContext will be used within that context only.  

Hope this helps
