Jakarta HTTPClient , dont wont to wait for a response.

Question

Hi there.
I wonder if I can do that , I want to send a post\get request to another server but I don�t want to wait for a response from it.
Actually, I want to continue with my program regardless to the response and don�t want to be delayed while waiting.
How can I do it?
Hope I made myself clear, thanks.

spawn a Thread that will send the request. When it's time to process the response, check the Thread to see if any response was returned from the server.
example
public class MyThread extends Thread{
    private String response = null;
    private int status = 0;
    private boolean complete = false;
    public void run(){
         // TODO: et the response from the server
         // set the response and status and complete (synchronize all variable when doing this)
    public boolean isComplete(){
        return complete;
    public String getStatus(){ return status; }
    public String getResponse(){ return response; }
public class Demo(){
    public static void main(String args[]){
        // do some work
        MyThread thread = new MyThread();
        thread.start();
        // do some more work (don't wait for server response
        // now it's time to get the response
        while (!thread.isComplete()){
            try{   Thread.sleep(1000); } // sleep for 1 second
            catch (Exception e){ }
        String response = thread.getResponse();
