[~Zoe Wang] With all due respect what you are saying make no sense to me.
HTTP/1.1 is a request / response oriented protocol. It defines no semantic
meaning for half-closed connections. Moreover, the server half-closing its
endpoint while receiving a request message from the client would essentially be
in violation of the HTTP spec. The client can half-close its endpoint when
writing out requests in the pipeline mode. Even that, however, goes counter to
the spec that states that HTTP/1.1 are to be kept persistent.

> Request hangs if TLS 1.3 connection is half-closed

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2328
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2328
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient (classic)
> Affects Versions: 4.5.14, 5.3.1
> Reporter: Zoe Wang
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: HalfCloseApache5Client.Java, HalfCloseServer.java,
> TlsHalfCloseApache4.java, keystore.jks

> If a server with TLS 1.3 support closes the connection during the request,
> more specifically, sending close_notify while the client is still writing to
> socket, the request will hang indefinitely. It's not an issue with TLS 1.2
> because it uses duplex-close policy. With TLS 1.3's half-closed connection
> policy, it seems Apache HTTP client is not able to detect connection closure
> properly. We are able to reproduce the issue with both 4.x and 5.x. I should
> note that HTTP URL connection does not have this issue.
> The workaround it to set `jdk.tls.acknowledgeCloseNotify` to true (see
> [https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8208526]), but that would require a lot
> of users to make changes on their side.
>
> Steps to repro:
> * Download the attached keystore file
> * Update ksPath in the server code HalfCloseServer.java to where you
> download the keystore
> * Run the server, the server will begin listening on {{localhost:8081}}
> * Create a random file of size 128MB and update client code "testFile" to
> where the file is.
> * Run the client, it should hang
> ** If System.setProperty("jdk.tls.acknowledgeCloseNotify", "true") is
> uncommented, it will not hang
> ** It also won’t hang if we we force TLS1.2
