    <p>Sounds strange, but I had the exact same problem. The app I was working on was making several successive requests to download a bunch of thumbnail images to display in a ListView, and after the second one it would hang as if there was a dead lock in the HttpClient code.</p> <p>The strange fix that I found was to use AndroidHttpClient instead of DefaultHttpClient. As soon as I did this, and I tried a lot of stuff before going this route, it started working just fine. Just remember to call client.close() when you're done with the request.</p> <p>AndroidHttpClient is described in the documentation as DefaultHttpClient with "reasonable default settings and registered schemes for Android". Since this was introduced in api level 8 (Android 2.2), I dug up the source to duplicate these "default settings" so that I could use it further back than that api level. Here is my code for duplicating the defaults and a helper class with a static method for safely closing it</p> <pre><code>public class HttpClientProvider { // Default connection and socket timeout of 60 seconds. Tweak to taste. private static final int SOCKET_OPERATION_TIMEOUT = 60 * 1000; public static DefaultHttpClient newInstance(String userAgent) { HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams(); HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(params, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1); HttpProtocolParams.setContentCharset(params, HTTP.DEFAULT_CONTENT_CHARSET); HttpProtocolParams.setUseExpectContinue(params, true); HttpConnectionParams.setStaleCheckingEnabled(params, false); HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, SOCKET_OPERATION_TIMEOUT); HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, SOCKET_OPERATION_TIMEOUT); HttpConnectionParams.setSocketBufferSize(params, 8192); SchemeRegistry schReg = new SchemeRegistry(); schReg.register(new Scheme("http", PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80)); schReg.register(new Scheme("https", SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 443)); ClientConnectionManager conMgr = new ThreadSafeClientConnManager(params, schReg); DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(conMgr, params); return client; } } </code></pre> <p>And in another class...</p> <pre><code>public static void safeClose(HttpClient client) { if(client != null &amp;&amp; client.getConnectionManager() != null) { client.getConnectionManager().shutdown(); } } </code></pre>
