Closely related to this question: How to use HttpClient with multithreaded operation?, I'm wondering if apache HttpAsyncClient is thread safe, or if it, too, requires the use of a MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager, or a ThreadSafeClientConnManager.
If it does require such a connection manager, does one exist in the async libraries?
I was able to find a PoolingClientAsyncConnectionManager in the async libraries, but I'm not sure if that's what I need.
Alternately, I was thinking of using ThreadLocal to create one HttpAsyncClient object per thread.
Note that unlike the question I referenced earlier, I need state to be independent across sessions, even if multiple sessions hit the same domain. If a cookie is set in session 1, the cookie should not be visible to session 2. For this reason, I've also considered creating a brand new HttpAsyncClient object for every single request, though I get the impression there should be a better way.
Thanks.
