Previously we attempted to avoid buffers in some situations and create aggressive buffers in other situations. This was a bad policy, and meant we had some subtle performance bugs. The one that prompted this is that chunked uploads make separate network writes for the chunk size, chunk, and newline separators. This avoids that problem and the corresponding complexity. Unfortunately getting the MTU isn't a standard API until Java 6 / Gingerbread. I tested my own networks and saw 1500 in use (for 3G and WiFi) and 1400 (for VPN over WiFi).
OkHttp
An HTTP+SPDY client for Android and Java applications.
Download
Downloadable .jars can be found on the GitHub download page.
You can also depend on the .jar through Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.squareup</groupId>
<artifactId>okhttp</artifactId>
<version>(insert latest version)</version>
</dependency>
Known Issues
OkHttp uses the platform's ProxySelector. Prior to Android 4.0, ProxySelector didn't honor the proxyHost and proxyPort system properties for HTTPS connections. Work around this by specifying the https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort system properties when using a proxy with HTTPS.
OkHttp's test suite creates an in-process HTTPS server. Prior to Android 2.3, SSL server sockets were broken, and so HTTPS tests will time out when run on such devices.
Building
On the Desktop
Run OkHttp tests on the desktop with Maven. Running SPDY tests on the desktop uses Jetty-NPN which requires OpenJDK 7+.
mvn clean test
On a Device
Test on a USB-attached Android using Vogar. Unfortunately dx requires that you build with Java 6, otherwise the test class will be silently omitted from the .dex file.
mvn clean
mvn package -DskipTests
