As far as I can tell HttpClient does everything correctly. It treats 204
as a message without a response body and correctly keeps the connection
alive. However on the subsequent request the server drops the
connection, which looks like a server side problem to me.
See the wire log.
Just because VertX sweeps the problem under the carpet and quietly
retries the request does not meant the problem does not exit.
