Brief about java.net.HttpURLConnection class

This class inherits from URLConnection. The HTTP specific features are supported by this class. Each instance of HttpURLConnection is used to make a single request, but HTTP server which is under the network connection can be transparent to the shared instances. A HttpURLConnection request may be freed by using close() method on the InputStream or the OutputStream. The underlying socket can be closed by invoking disconnect() method.
