Before this commit, there was no way to signal the HTTP client that we were done consuming the response. Without that, the underlying client library cannot know when it is safe to release the associated resources (e.g. the HTTP connection). This commit adds new `close()` methods on both `ClientHttpResponse` and `ClientResponse`. This methods is non-blocking and its behavior depends on the library, its configuration, HTTP version, etc. At the `WebClient` level, `close()` is called automatically if we consume the response body through the `ResponseSpec` or the `ClientResponse` itself. Note that it is *required* to call `close()` manually otherwise; not doing so might create resource leaks or connection issues. Issue: SPR-15920 |
