Also check your code. You might have accidentally did something like this:

try (HttpClients.createMinimal().execute(new HttpGet(String.format(
          "http://127.0.0.1:%s/extra/LifecycleServlet?action=shutdown",
          runningPort)))) {

instead of

try (CloseableHttpResponse response = HttpClients.createMinimal().execute(new HttpGet(String.format(
          "http://127.0.0.1:%s/extra/LifecycleServlet?action=shutdown",
          runningPort)))) {

easy mistake to make when you don't intend on using the result of your closeable resource. yet it will have that misleading error.
