Hi,

I am new to HttpClient.  I took the example directly from the HttpClient ja=
vadoc by invoking it 10 times.  The program ran fine, but I see 10 TIME_WAI=
T.  This suggests the example code is not closing the socket gracefully.  I=
s this a bug or am I looking at a bad example?  The problem with TIME_WAIT =
is the program will eventually hang if I increase the number of iterations.=
  Please advise.

thanks,

Thomas.
