Class HttpURLConnectionDirect Known Subclasses:
public abstract class HttpURLConnection
A URLConnection with support for HTTP-specific features. See
the spec for
details.
Each HttpURLConnection instance is used to make a single request
but the underlying network connection to the HTTP server may be
transparently shared by other instances. Calling the close() methods
on the InputStream or OutputStream of an HttpURLConnection
after a request may free network resources associated with this
instance but has no effect on any shared persistent connection.
Calling the disconnect() method may close the underlying socket
if a persistent connection is otherwise idle at that time.
