             Summary: Memory Leak in OSGi support
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1749
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1749
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.5.2, 4.4.1
            Reporter: Justin Edelson


There is a memory leak in the HTTP Client OSGi support whereby the 
HttpProxyConfigurationActivator holds on to references to created HttpClient 
instances for the entire life of the httpclient-osgi bundle.

The clients are added here: 
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.httpcomponents/httpclient-osgi/4.4.1/org/apache/http/osgi/impl/OSGiHttpClientBuilder.java#58

and not removed until 
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.httpcomponents/httpclient-osgi/4.4.1/org/apache/http/osgi/impl/HttpProxyConfigurationActivator.java#115

This can be relatively easily fixed by using weak references. In addition, 
access to this collection needs to be synchronized because the additions may 
come from multiple threads.
