>             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: HttpClient (classic)
>    Affects Versions: 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.5.3, 4.5.4, 4.5.5, 4.5.6, 4.5.7, 4.5.8, 4.5.9, 4.5.10

> Between HttpClient 4.4.x and 4.5.x setStaleConnectionCheckEnabled was deprecated in favor of setValidateAfterInactivity.  That's all fine, however, the implementation of setValidateAfterInactivity has no ability to check if a connection is stale all the time.  The closest one can get is 1 ms, and that's unfortunately not short enough in a test environment scenario when a test Http Server is being restarted between Tests to clear out state.
> This is a common issue on the internet for people that use something like Wiremock, the irony is troubleshooting the situation makes it go away (cause logging slows the tests).
> I would suggest making 0 a special value to "turn on" validation all the time.
> With HttpClient 5 removing the old staleConnectionCheckEnabled completely with a piece of what that feature actually did also being removed I fear it will leave me, and perhaps others, in a bit of a lurch.  Thanks!
