Connection pooling

[neeti]

How can we perform connection pooling using httpclient.

I think this happens when we create the HttpClient instance once and re-use it over the lifetime of the application, for example, in a servlet, having this be an class member and created on init(). ; creating a new HttpClient object on before every method invocation will certainly work on a new HTTP connection.

note that we still need to release the connection on every method.
