AndroidHttpClient and DefaultHttpClient

Hi

What is the difference between AndroidHttpClient and DefaultHttpClient?
Is there any retry capability built into those classes for Connection Timeout?

Can any one please give some information about this..

This is from the javadoc of AndroidHttpClient:

Quote:

---

Subclass of the Apache DefaultHttpClient that is configured with reasonable default settings and registered schemes for Android, and also lets the user add HttpRequestInterceptor classes. Don't create this directly, use the newInstance(String) factory method.

It seems that it simplifies the task of creating an http client by having default settings for common usage. But it is kept flexible enough by using HttpRequestInterceptor mechanism.

Thanks for the Response..
