I am using http-access2 to interface with with a system over HTTPS. If I made a connection that supported keepalives and then waited until the remote server closed the connection, I would get uncaught exceptions on the next request. I patched the code for the errors I was getting, the patch is attached below. Here are various exceptions I got when keepalives expired:
