**Issue** A failure in this test was observed whereby an unexpected connection from a client that was not created by the test caused the test to unsucessfully complete.
**Solution** When a connection is accepted by the ServerSocket, some verification of the Request URI and of the Request Path is conducted. If the client connection is found to be invalid or external to the test, the connection is closed. The ServerSocket will continue to accept new connections until the correct parameters are met. Once a valid connection is accepted, the test behaves exactly as it previously did. ------------- Commit messages: - 8286962: java/net/httpclient/ServerCloseTest.java failed once with ConnectException Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9155/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=9155&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8286962 Stats: 89 lines in 1 file changed: 37 ins; 31 del; 21 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9155.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk pull/9155/head:pull/9155 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9155
