I think the answer is here: org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpComponentsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor#doExecuteRequest

    @Override
    protected RemoteInvocationResult doExecuteRequest(
            HttpInvokerClientConfiguration config, ByteArrayOutputStream baos)
            throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {

        HttpPost postMethod = createHttpPost(config);
        setRequestBody(config, postMethod, baos);
        try {
            HttpResponse response = executeHttpPost(config, getHttpClient(), postMethod);
            validateResponse(config, response);
            InputStream responseBody = getResponseBody(config, response);
            return readRemoteInvocationResult(responseBody, config.getCodebaseUrl());
        }
        finally {
            postMethod.releaseConnection();
        }
    }
