If you don't call releaseConnection(), HttpClient doesn't know whether 
you're done reading the response to the request, so it doesn't free up 
the connection for re-use, and the MultiThreadedConnectionManager 
eventually appears to deadlock, while it is really waiting for you to 
call releaseConnection().
