As part of httpclient development, I find myself writing these helper utilities to release resources ( HttpClient / HttpEntity ) etc , very similar to IOUtils , from commons.io to release resources , that closes 'quietly' .
o.a.h.utils.HttpClientUtils closeQuietly(HttpClient) and closeQuietly(HttpResponse response) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1159 . + some test cases as well. Let me know your thoughts on the same. -- Karthik.
