Safe close of connection with partial read of response

[Ken Krugler <kk...@transpac.com>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to keep connections alive so that I can more efficiently  
load a set of pages from one web server domain.

I also don't always read the complete response, to avoid having some  
1GB renegade file from a web server fill up memory.

So if I truncate the response by not reading all of it, what's the  
safe approach to make sure there aren't residual bytes in the server's  
buffer that will get passed back in a subsequent request? Or is that  
even a possibility?

Currently I'm just closing the response.getEntity().getContent()  
InputStream.

Thanks,

-- Ken
