All Known Implementing Classes:

    public interface ConnectionReleaseTrigger

Interface for releasing a connection. This can be implemented by various "trigger" objects which are associated with a connection, for example a `stream` or an `entity` or the `connection` itself.

The methods in this interface can safely be called multiple times. The first invocation releases the connection, subsequent calls are ignored.

Since:
  4.0

Method Summary
`void` `abortConnection()` Releases the connection without the option of keep-alive.
`void` `releaseConnection()` Releases the connection with the option of keep-alive.

Method Detail

### releaseConnection

    void releaseConnection()
                           throws IOException

  Releases the connection with the option of keep-alive. This is a "graceful" release and may cause IO operations for consuming the remainder of a response entity. Use `abortConnection` for a hard release. The connection may be reused as specified by the duration.

  Throws:
    `IOException` - in case of an IO problem. The connection will be released anyway.

### abortConnection

    void abortConnection()
                         throws IOException

  Releases the connection without the option of keep-alive. This is a "hard" release that implies a shutdown of the connection. Use `releaseConnection()` for a graceful release.

  Throws:
    `IOException` - in case of an IO problem. The connection will be released anyway.
