Description

hello, if you don't call ResponseBody.close() on your ResponseBody objects you are leaking resources. I've just spent time in the debugger tracing a few runs of the sample DownloadReport.java from your samples repository. ApiClient is clearly not closing the ResponseBody. The only call to close() appears in ApiClient.handleResponse..and it is conditional: only runs if the HTTP status code is 204 (no content ironically). There is a reason ResponseBody implements Closeable. Sorry but no time to contribute code.
