HttpClient : using SSL connection pool (or session pool)

[sol myr <so...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I intend to use the commons "HttpClient" for SSL communication .
For performace, I'd like to have a socket pool (in more detail : the server to 
which I'm connecting is customized, its code is under my control.  Now when 
my client starts up it should open a pool of, say,  100 sockets, do SSL 
verification & key negotiation, and from now on all those connections 
will be "kept alive", and used as necessary ).
 
Does HttpClient support this, and if so - could anyone please point me 
to a code example on the web, or at least mention the name of the 
classes involved ?
 
Thanks very much

Yes, it does. HttpClient per default reuses connections that can be kept
alive. For more details refer to:

HttpClient multi-threading guide:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/threading.html

HttpClient optimization guide:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/performance.html#Connection
%20persistence

HttpClient SSL guide:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/sslguide.html#Known%
20limitations%20and%20problems

Hope this helps

Oleg
