[jetty-users] Build up of pipe file descriptors in Jetty Client 7.4.0

[Chris Dumoulin <chris@xxxxxxxx>]

I've got an application that is using the Jetty HttpClient version 7.4.0, and I'm seeing a buildup of pipe file descriptors when calling HttpClient.send(). This doesn't seem to happen with version 7.2.0.
I'm using "lsof" to see the file descriptors associated with the Java process. When HttpClient.send() is called two more "pipe" files are created and they don't seem to ever go away.
My investigation into this was first triggered by the application not being able to open new connections because of "Too many open files" errors.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks,
