> The issue here is that `HttpURLConnection` is automatically disconnected (`HttpClient` is set to `null`, `connected` is set to `false`) when a response with no response body bytes is received. This happens before a fake empty body input stream is returned to the user. That behaviour also occurs with any method for which `content-length: 0` is returned (GET, POST, custom, anything), and with any status code (204, 304) for which there is no body.
>
> In this case, the proposed fix is to store the `SSLSession` in the `AbstractDelegateHttpsURLConnection` subclass until such a time where `disconnect()` is explicitely closed. Information pertaining to SSL, such as server certificates, can be extracted from the saved `SSLSession`.
