How to properly close a connection from client?

[svalaskevicius]

Describe what you would like to know or do

Hi, I cannot find a proper way to close the connection fully from the client side:

• there is a close() method, but it seems it leaves the actual threads and socket hanging - or am I missing anything?
• there is reset(), but it private and only used in reconnect()

Describe the solution you'd considered

• opening up the reset() method could be nice

Additional context

I closed the connection in following manner, but I don't think this is the grace full approach. private static final CountDownLatch responseLatch = new CountDownLatch(1);

`public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { MYWebSocketClient myWebSocketClient = new MYWebSocketClient(new URI( "wss://.../"));

    myWebSocketClient.connectBlocking(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    responseLatch.await(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    myWebSocketClient.closeBlocking();
}`

Yes, close() and closeBlocking() are the correct ways to close a socket. Are you getting any specific problems? I just checked, and no threads are left hanging.

hmm thanks! looks like it might have been a problem on my side - retrying a connection multiple times due to a threading issue..
