      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS, mixed mode)


      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      The client calls SSLEngine.closeOutBound() sending a close_notify. The server state is NOT_HANDSHAKING. The server unwraps. The server state becomes NEED_WRAP. The server calls wrap. The result is OK. The server state is still NEED_WRAP.

      This state is confusing to me. What I expect is after the server receives an EOF from the client, it starts a clean close. The clean close involves the following steps:
      (1) writing application data, wrapping and flushing to the socket channel
      (2) call sslEngine.closeOutbound
      (3) wrap() again and flush to the socket channel
      However, in step (1), I do handshake first and call wrap with an empty byte buffer. Intuitively I call wrap again which seems to be the wrong action, which caught me by surprise. Am I understanding the behavior correctly? If yes, worth mentioning in the javadoc that after inbound done, the handshake status is always NEED_WRAP until outbound done?
