How do I clean up resources after completing a call without closing the entire HttpClient? HttpResponse.close() is deprecated.
With CIO I get BindException: Can't assign requested address under high load which is probably due to some (temporary?) resource leak.

Hey, the HttpResponse is in memory, so you don't need cleanup any resources.

Could you describe what kind of leak do you have?

This test randomly either freezes or throws the `BindException`:

Thanks!, We will take a look

While you’re at it 😄
Apache & Jetty engines are highly unstable too, probably for the same reason.
