             Summary: CLOSE_WAIT issue in HttpClint
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1918
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1918
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient (async)
    Affects Versions: 4.5.5
            Reporter: Santhosh Sheshasayanan


We are facing CLOSE_WAIT issue in our production system on heavy load. We are 
using Apache's httpClient 4.5.5 and httpcore 4.4.9 in our code. Sometime the 
server sends half of the data; sometime server sends no data and close the 
connection at their end. Now, httpclient puts the socket connection to 
CLOSE_WAIT indefinitely. 

We tried the following but nothing helped us.
 * Set TTL to 1 minutes in PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager
 * Used the following methods
 ** evictExpiredConnections()
 ** evictIdleConnections(5, TimeUnit._SECONDS_)
 **

 *** Topic "2.5. Connection eviction policy"
 *** Topic "2.6. Connection keep alive strategy"

   Later, we found the method "setValidateAfterInactivity". Its description 
says "This check helps detect connections that have become stale (half-closed) 
while kept inactive in the pool". So we thought it will help us to detect and 
close the socket which are in "CLOSE_WAIT" state. But it did not help us.

Problem here, The HTTP client puts the socket into "CLOSE_WAIT" state and 
waiting for the signal from server to close the socket. But the server closed 
the connection already.  Please suggest us how to handle/resolve the issue?
