At Datameer, we have had failing communication between client and server when the client reused HTTP connections. When I looked at the code, I noticed that the author(s) of the
ConnectionKeepAliveStrategyseemed to think that it does what is actually the purpose of aConnectionReuseStrategy. The comments withingetKeepAliveDuration(..)suggest that they thought that by returning-1they disable connection reuse (it actually means "keep the connection alive indefinitely").However, I'm not sure if that is the real root cause of our issues regarding failing communication between client and server when connections are reused, so I designed the new code so that connections are never reused unless told to via property.
