Category: Bug Report
SubCategory: New Bug Report
Class: swbug
State: received
Priority: high

   Release: 3.1
   JVM Release: Sun JDK 1.3
   Operating System: Solaris
   OS Release: 2.6

Synopsis: 
socket.close() doesn't always close underlying connection in HttpConnectionHandler

Description:
In the main HttpConnectionHandler loop, the call to 
socket.close() sometimes fails to close the underlying 
socket and thus the connection to the browser.  The result
is a spinning Netscape/IE icon while the browser thinks
there is more page to load. 

The problem only appears when we are using the Oracle
JDBC driver in OCI8 mode.  If we don't use JDBC, or if we 
use the "thin" driver, the connection-close problem 
disappears.
