Closing the connection

[Tim Pigden]

I'm using http client to call a service which is returning me an HttpEntity.CloseDelimited

HttpEntity.CloseDelimited

A streaming entity of unspecified length that is delimited by closing the connection ("Connection: close"). Note, that this entity type can only be used in an HttpResponse.

I'm confused about the "Connection: close" bit. Where do I close the connection and how?

my client code looks like this

def getDoc(path: String): Future[HttpResponse] = {
  val authorization = headers.Authorization(BasicHttpCredentials(user, password))
  val request = HttpRequest(
    GET,
    uri = root + path,
    headers = List(authorization),
    protocol = `HTTP/1.0`
  )
  val conn = Http().outgoingConnection(host, port)
  val response = Source.single(request).via(conn.flow).runWith(Sink.head)
  response
}

called from this test code

val builder = UriBuilder("exist")
val f = builder.getDoc("apps/demo/data/macbeth.xml")
val waited = Await.result(f, 20 seconds)

so calling toStrict on the entity does something useful. But I'm not sure it's the "right" thing.
