Re: Memory leaking

Perhaps you're keeping references to the original String's containing
the whole 500kb of returned data from the webserver.

This would be caused by for example String.substring() which doesn't
create a new string but only references part of the original string, try
calling new String() on strings you keep to ensure that you're not
keeping old data in memory by accident.

For more info look at this  google search:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=java+string+memory+leak
+substring&btnG=Search&meta=

Although it could very well be something else. But String leaks in this
way is quite common, esp. as you deal with a lot of String's.
