Hi Joan

(1) You really do not have to do anything special anymore. You might 
want to run a watcher thread that cleans up expired connections once in 
a while but you no longer need to manage idle connections manually.

---
final ThreadSafeClientConnManager connman = new ThreadSafeClientConnManager(
         objHttpParams, schemeRegistry);

class MyThread extends Thread {

     private volatile boolean shutdown = false;

     public void run() {
         while (!shutdown) {
             try {
                 // Sleep for a minute
                 this.wait(60000L);
             }
             catch (InterruptedException e) {
                 break;
             }
             connman.closeExpiredConnections();
             // optionally close connections that have been idle
             // over 5 min
             connman.closeIdleConnections(300, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
         }
     }

     public void shutdown() {
         shutdown = true;
         this.notifyAll();
     }

};

MyThread t = new MyThread();
t.start();

// Shutdown at the same time with the connection manager.
t.shutdown();
connman.shutdown();

(2) You also ought not mess around with cookie policies anymore. 
HttpClient employs a new cookie policy per default that automatically 
picks up a cookie spec that matches best the capabilities of the target 
server. If, nonetheless, you want to enforce a particular cookie spec, 
you can use the following parameter either at the client or request level.

---
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.getParams().setParameter(
   ClientPNames.COOKIE_POLICY, CookiePolicy.RFC_2109);
---

Hope this helps

Oleg
