RELEASE NOTES:

core-libs/java.net:

    JDK-8278067: Make HttpURLConnection Default Keep Alive Timeout Configurable

      Two system properties have been added which control the keep alive behavior of
      HttpURLConnection in the case where the server does not specify a keep alive time. Two
      properties are defined for controlling connections to servers and proxies separately. They are
      `http.keepAlive.time.server` and `http.keepAlive.time.proxy` respectively. More information
      about them can be found in [Networking
      Properties](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/19/docs/api/java.base/java/net/doc-files/net-properties.html).
