Hello fellow Gatling users,

I am writing a test against a http endpoint that keeps the http connection alive; it is a streaming backend. At the moment, my tests are timing out as the get request doesn’t close the connection.

Is there a way to test against the http body response _and_ terminate the connection from Gatling?

Thanks, Lee
