I think you are right that this design is actually for TLSv1.3 half-close mode.
For TLS 1.3, there is no duplex closure design. The close() implementation
in JDK is actually a workaround for compatibility. Application can use either
the half-close mode
socket.shutdownOutput();
socket.shutdownInput();
or duplex close mode for compatibilty:
socket.close();
Unfortunately, in practice the half-close and duplex close are mixed with three
lines:
socket.shutdownOutput();
socket.shutdownInput();
socket.close();
Yeah, I've seen that in things like Apache HttpClient Core, which has
subsequently been removed.
How about something like this:

It was not something I expected when I designed the spec for half-close mode.
It should be helpful if having another iteration for the @apiNote.

Hi Xuelei,
I am working on some close code including the recent PR[1] for:
8282529: Fix API Note in javadoc for javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket
and ran into a change I hadn't noticed before.
* @apiNote
* When the connection is no longer needed, the client and server
* applications should each close both sides of their respective connection.
* For {@code SSLSocket} objects, for example, an application can call
* {@link Socket#shutdownOutput()} for output stream close and call
* {@link Socket#shutdownInput()} for input stream close.
It used to be that just a single SSLSocket.close() was sufficient to completely
shutdown the SSLSocket, and under the hood it closed the output/input in the
right order.
I believe this code still closes everything as before, but the updated @apiNote
encourages the user to do a three-part shutdown instead.
socket.shutdownOutput();
socket.shutdownInput();
socket.close(); // mostly repeats of above.
This approach seems unnecessary unless the user is interested in the TLSv1.3
half-close mode.
What is the rationale for recommending this way of doing closes in general? Or
does this @apiNote need another iteration?
Thanks,
Brad
