Hello @core-libs-dev <mailto:[email protected]>,
Would it be ok if we made HttpServer from the jdk.httpserver module
implement AutoCloseable? Having this would prevent people from
forgetting to close the server after use.
The close() implementation could call stop(int delay) with a
reasonable default. This implementation should be a default one, so
that existing child classes that also implemented AutoCloseable lose
no functionality.
The net-dev mailing list is where networking and HTTP issues are usually
discussed. HttpExchange was retrofitted to implement AutoCloseable in
JDK 14 and there may have been discussed (can't remember) about
HttpServer at the time.
