Description

When ReplicationClient.updateNow() using an HttpReplicator encounters a server error (like Status Code 500), it throws a runtime exception instead of an IOException.
Furthermore, it does not close the HttpClient it used, which leads to an Error if a BasicClientConnectionManager is used
