[android-developers] CLOSE_WAIT status never clears

I am using the HttpURLConnection class to make my http requests to get
data and I am noticing that some OS tools show my app as remaining in
a CLOSE_WAIT status no matter how long I wait. Here is a sample of
the code I use to make the request,

URL url = new URL(strURL);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
HttpURLConnection httpConnection =
(HttpURLConnection)connection;
httpConnection.setDoInput(true);
httpConnection.setDoOutput(true);
httpConnection.setUseCaches(false);
httpConnection.setRequestMethod(GET);

int responsecode = httpConnection.getResponseCode();
if (responsecode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
InputStream in = httpConnection.getInputStream();

byte[] buffer = new byte[bufSize];
int bufSize = 8192;
int length = bufSize;
while (length != -1) {
// keep reading until we get -1 returned...
length = in.read(buffer, 0, bufSize);
}
}

in.close();
httpConnection.disconnect();

Is this a known issue with the platform or am I missing a step in
closing the connection?

Thanks, Mark
