This brings up a question I've had for some time. Whose resposibility is
it to close the output stream? It would seem reasonable to me that the
servlet engine should do this but it doesn't seem to hurt anything for the
servlet to do this (on the few engines I've tried). Does the spec mention
this? Would it cause a problem for any servlet engine if the servlet
closed this?
If this isn't mentioned in the spec maybe it should be.
Comments and/or suggestions?
