My application communicate alot with a server – a lot of data is being sent and received.
My question is, should I really just use HttpConnection for all the requests or use some kind of TCP one? I read somewhere in the documentation (can’t find it again) about something related to TCP, and that TCP IS more efficient in general.

I’m sending files of about 100-400kb on each server call.

I am also unsure about the server side effect of using one vs the other, on my server? I mean the app client may be working faster with HttpConnection, but is that more efficient for the server?
What would be the right approach to work with a server, in the long run, when not just a single call is being made?

I found little information about this topic, hope you guys can help me.

    The right approach would be to use either HttpClient or URLConnection classes. Of those two HttpClient is easier to use. If you discover those classes are somehow insufficient you will be using other things such as raw sockets but it’s unlikely.
