Hi, Please find below a fix for:
8216478: Cleanup HttpResponseImpl back reference to HttpConnection https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8216478 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/webrev_8216478/webrev.00/ HttpResponseImpl keeps an internal hard reference to the Exchange and HttpConnection objects which were involved in the exchange through which the response was received. This has the inconvenience of pinning a number of auxiliary internal objects in memory until all references to the HttpResponse is released by the application code. These internal references are only useful in the case of the initial request that establishes a WebSocket connection. This small patch proposes to only keep them in the case where the request is a WebSocket connect request. This should avoid pinning these objects in memory until the reference to the HttpResponseImpl is released by user code for the regular case where no WebSocket is involved. There's no additional non-regression test - but I have verified that all existing tests are still passing. best regards, -- daniel
