Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCORE-172: -------------------------------------------- Jason, The shared input buffer can still be in a valid state even if the underlying connection has been terminated, as long as it contains buffered data from previous reads. The shared output buffer is different. It is no longer in a valid state if the underlying connection has been terminated regardless of the buffered data. It is either open (usable) or it is not. So, I think the simplest and cleanest fix for this problem is to have #close() method simply call #shutdown(). The consumer would still be expected to call #shutdown() on associated shared buffers in case of an abnormal termination of the connection and to call #close() in case of a normal one. It just would not make a difference for the output buffer. Would this approach fix the problem for Synapse?

If the next event to the ClientHandler is a > "closed()" event, then the ClientHandler will remove its references to the > SharedInputBuffer.
