title: Apache HttpClient 4.3 - setting connection idle timeout
body: <p>What's the shortest way to configure connection idle timeout on Apache HttpClient 4.3 version?</p>
  
  <p>I've looked in the documentation and couldn't find anything. My goal is to reduce open connections to a minimum post server-peak.</p>
  
  <p>for example in Jetty Client 8.x you can set httpClient.setIdleTimeout: <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/jetty/stable-8/apidocs/org/eclipse/jetty/client/HttpClient.html#setIdleTimeout(long)">http://download.eclipse.org/jetty/stable-8/apidocs/org/eclipse/jetty/client/HttpClient.html#setIdleTimeout(long)</a></p>
