Sardine Webdav configuration issues.

Java Sardine WebDav Connecting Issue

Here is the Most frequent problem while setting up the Sardine  (GitHub)Java WebDav connecting issues.

We Solved below issue by using configuring the correct version of httpclient with the combination of Sardine version. This is because of improper ConnectionKeepAliveStrategy loading while making http connection 

httpclient-4.3.1.jar

Maven Entry:
version=4.3.1
groupId=org.apache.httpcomponents

artifactId=httpclient

Sometimes ,JDK 7.41x above will help us in resolving the issue. I took more than 3 hours to get the bottom line issue. 
All the best.
