HttpClient evicts expired connections from the pool as it encounters them. If you want idle connections to be evicted on a regular basis, you need to start a dedicated thread for that as described in the tutorial. HttpClient does not do this automatically because for many types of applications it is not necessary. Evicting idle connections after long periods of inactivity only may be perfectly sufficient.
