reactor-netty 0.7.7 leaks ClassLoader

See original GitHub issue

Hi @mjiderhamn and thanks for all the work on this library!

I was just testing the newly released Spring Boot Admin 2.0 with our tomcat-classloader-leak-test and sadly it fails. Analyzing the heap dump gives me this picture:

I set a breakpoint in DefaultLoopResources$EventLoop#L238 and saw a huge stacktrace ending in HttpClient#138 where HttpResources.get() is called but never cleaned up after (as far as I can see) even though HttpResources is reactor.coreDisposable.

Is there something that this library can do about this? I will try opening an issue with reactor-netty as well.

I merged our proposed changes (better late than never - right?). Hope there hasn’t been additional changes to reactor-netty since then.

The reaction was that the HttpResources should be managed on your own if you want them to shutdown.
