I presume your "consultant" means that your rest client is closing the connexion in which case how would it receive the 500 error message? Ask your consultant to explain that. It would seem the connexion is intact enough for you to receive the error and then your client probably closes the connexion. A good communications trace would show the actual sequence.

There are possibilities where one side has closed the connexion and latent traffic is still being received at the other end but I think that is not the case here.

More likely you are sending something that might look correct visually but is not expected by the server or you are NOT sending something the server expects (e.g., 2 CRLFs after the last HTTP header).
