Hi Mike,
what do you suggest? Your tutorial does not cover this - a) you use 
System.exit(-1) which would not be a good solution in my case ;-); or b) 
you do nothing, which does not work, because "executeMethod" would throw 
some exception again (I tried it with a previous HC version). Should I 
use "releaseConnection"? Will it work correctly?

BTW: I will try "httpConnectionFactoryTimeout" as soon as we are sure, 
that "recycle" is not the problematic point which causes the issue.

Thank you

Leo
