Class HttpClientHelper

java.lang.Object

org.alfresco.util.HttpClientHelper

public class HttpClientHelper
extends java.lang.Object

Helper class to provide access to Thread Local instances of HttpClient. These instances will have been set up in a way that optimises the performance for one thread doing a fetch and then using the result. You must call releaseConnection() when you're done with the request, otherwise things will break for the next request in this thread! TODO Merge me back to Spring Surf, which is where this code has been pulled out from (was in RemoteClient but not available externally)
