ClientResource throws exception when making PUT request (after having made another request with a different ClientResource)

[Jason Parraga]

I wrote a unit test that used ClientResource to exercise a PUT Restlet resource. I discovered that the unit test was flaky in our continuous integration and would fail occasionally. After looking into the issue it appears that the client connector claims that the connection has been reset. It seems that anytime I try to make a PUT request after having used any ClientResource previously the request fails on the client side. Here is some trivial code to illustrate the issue I'm having. When the entire unit test suite is run testPut fails. Additionally if I use a repeat rule testPut will fail on the second execution. I can run testGet all day long and it will never fail. 

We are using Restlet 1.2.12

Here is a link to a slightly more readable version of the code: https://gist.github.com/Sovietaced/5acb8398410d2f2b12909a70c94b5177

Not sure why gist broke the indentation.
