How to make sure rector netty http client create fix connection to http server

Question

I use bellow code to create reactor netty http client and use this client to send request.


ConnectionProvider connectionProvider = ConnectionProvider.builder("lead")
    .maxConnections(10)
    .pendingAcquireTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(60))
    .pendingAcquireMaxCount(10)
    .maxLifeTime(Duration.ofSeconds(100))
    .maxIdleTime(Duration.ofSeconds(60))
    .build();

HttpClient httpClient = HttpClient.create(connectionProvider)
    .keepAlive(true);

I loop send rquest:

for (; ; ) {
    httpClient.get().uri("http://localhost:5230/test")
        .response()
        .subscribe();
}

I hope http client only create 10 connection to http server,but the result not as expected,client create many connection to http server(server listen on 5230 port)(this connection soon closed):

netstat -nap |grep "5230" output

  .... there is many connection in TIME_WAIT status....

With the help of Violeta Georgieva,in reactory netty response() method will case http client close connection,so http client create many connection to server：create connection -> send request -> close connection。

The below code works as expected:

httpClient.get().uri("http://127.0.0.1:5230/test")
    .responseSingle(new BiFunction<HttpClientResponse, ByteBufMono, Mono<String>>() {
        @Override
        public Mono<String> apply(HttpClientResponse response, ByteBufMono byteBufMono) {
            return byteBufMono.asString();
        }
    })
    .subscribe();
