Petteri,
It is critical that connections are _always_ released back to the
connection manager when the response content has been consumed. The
HttpMethod#releaseConnection() calls #close() on the input stream
associated with the connection automatically. There's no harm in closing
the input stream returned by #getResponseBodyAsStream() method. This
will NOT close the underlying socket anyways

Cheers,

Oleg
