HttpConnection

Fields Summary

Constructors Summary

Methods Summary
public void	close() Closes this connection gracefully. This method will attempt to flush the transmitter's internal buffer prior to closing the underlying socket. This method MUST NOT be called from a different thread to force shutdown of the connection. Use {@link #shutdown shutdown} instead.
public org.apache.http.HttpConnectionMetrics	getMetrics() Returns a collection of connection metrcis return HttpConnectionMetrics
public int	getSocketTimeout() Returns the socket timeout value. return positive value in milliseconds if a timeout is set, 0 if timeout is disabled or -1 if timeout is undefined.
public boolean	isOpen() Checks if this connection is open. return true if it is open, false if it is closed.
public boolean	isStale() Checks whether this connection has gone down. Network connections may get closed during some time of inactivity for several reasons. The next time a read is attempted on such a connection it will throw an IOException. This method tries to alleviate this inconvenience by trying to find out if a connection is still usable. Implementations may do that by attempting a read with a very small timeout. Thus this method may block for a small amount of time before returning a result. It is therefore an expensive operation. return true if attempts to use this connection are likely to succeed, or false if they are likely to fail and this connection should be closed
public void	setSocketTimeout(int timeout) Sets the socket timeout value. param timeout timeout value in milliseconds
public void	shutdown() Force-closes this connection. This is the only method of a connection which may be called from a different thread to terminate the connection. This method will not attempt to flush the transmitter's internal buffer prior to closing the underlying socket.
