> Hi,
> I think I found a regression or rather a bug. I noticed that {{httpcore-nio:4.4.11}} is always sending a 504 gateway timeout header after a connection times out. This also happens with keep alive connections where the application code already send a valid response, which then leads to the client receiving an unexpected http header. Many clients seam to ignore it but this is not valid http.
> This behavior was added with HTTPCORE-482 and thus {{httpcore-nio:4.4.6}} is the last version that in my opinion works correctly by just closing the tcp connection. Maybe a solution is that the connection remembers that it already send a response instead of a complete reset and now is in keep alive mode?
> You can see/reproduce this with the following server & client example while capturing their traffic with wireshark.
> 1. Start wireshark with the filter: {{tcp.srcport == 12345 || tcp.dstport == 12345}}
> 2. Start the server ([^KeepAliveExampleServer.java]) which then listens on port 12345 with a 10s socket timeout and always responds with "Hello World".
> 3. Start the client ([^KeepAliveExampleClient.java]) which will make 3 requests against the server. The 1st & 2nd request should use the same tcp connection. The 3rd should happen after the socket timeout of the server and thus open a new tcp connection.
> I have also prepared some captures for you, the unwanted http header is in packet 12 of  [^httpcore-nio-4.4.11-unwanted-504-header.pcapng]. The capture [^httpcore-nio-4.4.6-working.pcapng] shows the expected behavior.
