Patrick Barry commented on HTTPCLIENT-2339:
-------------------------------------------

Thanks Oleg! I looked at DefaultConnectionReuseStrategy and it is not taking 
408 response in consideration. After reading Http 1.1 description of what 
should happen, should this ticket be a bug so that class incorporates this 
use-case?

> Force close on connection when 408 is returned

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: HttpClient (async)
>    Affects Versions: 5.3.1

> Regarding http1.1 requests.... We have a service we are reaching out to, that 
> is sending back a 408, but no connection: close.  
> According to [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/408]
>  
> {noformat}
> The HTTP 408 Request Timeout client error response status code indicates that 
> the server would like to shut down this unused connection. A 408 is sent on 
> an idle connection by some servers, even without any previous request by the 
> client.
> A server should send the Connection: close header field in the response, 
> since 408 implies that the server has decided to close the connection rather 
> than continue waiting.
> {noformat}
>  
> We are using the CloseableHttpAsyncClient with 
> PoolingAsyncClientConnectionManager.  When we get a 408 and they do not 
> specify that connection should be closed, how can we force this? Can it be 
> accomplished with an interceptor or is it done by default inside the library? 
>  The response is actually sending back Connection=keep-alive
