Is AndroidHttpClient thread safe
android, androidhttpclient, java
Solution
Yes, it is thread safe.
`AndroidHttpClient` is a special implementation of `DefaultHttpClient` which is pre-configured for Android. It registers the `ThreadSafeClientConnManager` which allows thread safe HTTP access via a managed connection pool. `AndroidHttpClient` also applies reasonable default settings for timeouts and socket buffer sizes. It also supports HTTPS by default.
You can find the source code here.
Problem
I was wondering, whether is AndroidHttpClient thread safe, as this is not being mentioned in documentation. Means, a single instance of `AndroidHttpClient` can be shared among multiple threads.
