What happens if HttpClient.execute () is interrupted?

Question

I am calling HttpClient.execute () on a background thread. Does an IOException cause a thread interrupt?

No, at least I have never seen this. Please note that you can interrupt the download by checking Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()while copying from httpEntity.getContent().
