Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-2339:
-----------------------------------------------
[~patrickjamesbarry] I did not see a requirement to close the connection based
on the status code alone in RFC 9110 [1]. I do not even see a recommendation.
It is entirely up to you to treat this issue as a bug or a change request. At
any rate it will not warrant an emergency release and you have just missed
HttpCore 4.3 by a few days.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2339
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2339
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HttpClient (async)
> Affects Versions: 5.3.1
> Reporter: Patrick Barry
> Priority: Major
>
> 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
