Answer 1

In PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager class there is a method setValidateAfterInactivity that sets period of connection inactivity in milliseconds. If this period has been exceeded connection pool revalidates connection before passing it to HttpClient. This method is available since v.4.4. In prior versions RequestConfig.Builder.setStaleConnectionCheckEnabled method could have been used.
