Github PR is here: [https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-core/pull/158]
> Add staleConnectionCheckEnabled=true semantic behavior in
> validateAfterInactivity config
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCORE-613
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-613
> Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HttpCore
> Affects Versions: 4.4.12
> Reporter: Peter Frank
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Between HttpClient 4.4.x and 4.5.x setStaleConnectionCheckEnabled was
> deprecated in favor of setValidateAfterInactivity. That's all fine, however,
> the implementation of setValidateAfterInactivity has no ability to check if a
> connection is stale all the time. The closest one can get is 1 ms, and
> that's unfortunately not short enough in a test environment scenario when a
> test Http Server is being restarted between Tests to clear out state.
> This is a common issue on the internet for people that use something like
> Wiremock, the irony is troubleshooting the situation makes it go away (cause
> logging slows the tests).
> I would suggest making 0 a special value to "turn on" validation all the time.
> With HttpClient 5 removing the old staleConnectionCheckEnabled completely
> with a piece of what that feature actually did also being removed I fear it
> will leave me, and perhaps others, in a bit of a lurch. Thanks!
