+- **[client-v2, jdbc-v2]** Fixed `ResultSet#close()`, `QueryResponse#close()`, and closing a reader or the response
+  stream when the result was not read to the end, which could fail with `Premature end of chunk coded message body:
+  closing chunk expected`. To close a partly read response, the HTTP client reads and discards the rest of the body.
+  When a query fails after the response started, the server ends the body early, and that read failed. When the result
+  stream was opened, this failure on close is now logged at `DEBUG` and not thrown. Errors while the response is read
+  are not changed, and a command or update that does not read the result (`Client#execute`, `Statement#executeUpdate`)
+  still reports the failure.
