getHostConfiguration

[Sagi Mann <sa...@googlemail.com>]

Hello,
AFAIK, it is the HttpMethod instances, through multiple
HttpConnections, that connect to various hosts. If so, could anyone
pls explain what is HttpClient.getHostConfiguration used for? After
all, an HttpClient shouldn't be associated with any specific host,
correct?

thanks.

Every connection is made based on a HostConfiguration, which tells
HttpClient what proxy to use or what local address. Also, you can
create a method with a relativ URL that doesn't specify the host.
The HostConfiguration in the HttpClient is the default host config
for relative URLs.

hope that helps,
