Michael Osipov commented on HTTPCLIENT-1507:
--------------------------------------------
If so, this means that the quoted text from the user guide is incorrect. The
connection is always released?
> Quick start comments do not correspond to user guide

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1507
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1507
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 4.3.3
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
>
> [Quick start|http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/quickstart.html]
> says:
> {quote}
> // The underlying HTTP connection is still held by the response object
> // to allow the response content to be streamed directly from the network
> socket.
> // In order to ensure correct deallocation of system resources
> // the user MUST either fully consume the response content or abort request
> // execution by calling CloseableHttpResponse#close().
> {quote}
> but the [user
> guide|http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.3.x/tutorial/html/fundamentals.html#d5e145]
> says:
> {quote}
> The difference between closing the content stream and closing the response is
> that the former will attempt to keep the underlying connection alive by
> consuming the entity content while the latter immediately shuts down and
> discards the connection.
> {quote}
> This is a contradiction. The code which follows in the quick start is correct
> but not the comment. Even if I consume the response content the underlying
> connection is still help open.
