execute

Invokes the request immediately, and blocks until the response can be processed or is in error.

To avoid leaking resources callers should close the Response which in turn will close the underlying ResponseBody.

// ensure the response (and underlying response body) is closed
try (Response response = client.newCall(request).execute()) {
  ...
}

The caller may read the response body with the response's Response.body method. To avoid leaking resources callers must close the response body or the response.

Note that transport-layer success (receiving a HTTP response code, headers and body) does not necessarily indicate application-layer success: response may still indicate an unhappy HTTP response code like 404 or 500.
