GELF HttpAppender caused a memory leak when GrayLog server was down #42

Started using the GELF HTTP appender to submit logs directly to the GrayLog server from the service. When the GrayLog server had a prolonged downtime, it led to a memory leak in our service. Stopping the appender resolved the issue for us.

Hi, which nuget package are you using

Since the implementation is different in Gelf4Net uses WebClient because it targets the framework 4.0 and Gelf4Net.HttpAppender uses HttpClient which target 4.5

I'm going to update Gelf4Net to framework 4.5 and it'll use HttpClient....

If you were using Gelf4Net maybe with the update it'll solve the issues if you were using Gelf4Net.HttpAppender I'll have to make some tests :)

I pushed a new nuget package.

Gelf4Net.2.0.3.14 I will not be able to test it immediately. We are waiting for our IT/DC team to setup a GrayLog cluster. Will take up updates after the infrastructure is in place. Thanks for responding.

It took some time, but I was able to reproduce it 5 years later :/
