      • getContext

        public org.apache.http.client.protocol.HttpClientContext getContext()
        Gets the HttpClientContext The context stores details about the call to a server. It is useful in NTLM which has a fairly expensive authentication process. Once connected the authentication details are stored in the HttpClientContext and following HttpRequest calls do not need to be made. the process is as follows. Initially do a connection to a cheap service GetRequest. The execute() method creates the context. Create a new httpRequest with the expensive operation such as a PUT and call setContext(context)
