Additional questions about this. Immediately following my HandleHttpRequest
processor, I have an ExecuteScript processor that then sends flowfile
copies out two Success paths. one path eventually culminates in a
HandleHttpResponse that has the aforementioned auto-termintaion of Success
and Failure results. The second path is to a MonitorActivity processor that
is disabled, to permit me to queue up and review incoming flowfile results
after ExecuteScript during dev and test. Does that second path also have to
send a response? Isn't it enough that the ContextMap is cleared by the
response from the first path?

Second question: how does this ever happen? Doesn't the Request Expiration
I set on the StandradHttpContextMap force the obliteration of all entries
that age beyond that point?
