I'm trying to narrow down an issue utilizing ktor HttpClient for many requests where I am getting a `SocketTimeoutException` on my last outgoing http request.  Is the proper behavior to explicitly call `close()` on the client after all requests for a given "task" are completed, or to call `close()` after every request? also if anyone has found more doc/examples than this <https://ktor.io/clients/http-client.html> it would be appreciated :thumbsup:

Basically it depends on how you process the body. If you use `ByteReadChannel` body, you should close response.

`client.close()` just starts the graceful shutdown process
