      Using Undertow 2.1.1.Final, the request attribute added by TestFilter is present in its finally block. Using Undertow 2.1.2.Final or later, the attribute is missing and, as a result the Objects.requireNonNull call fails with a NullPointerException:

      While investigating a Spring Boot issue we have identified a regression in Undertow 2.1.2.Final and later that results in request attributes being cleared too soon. This happens when a client closes a connection while the response is still being written. With thanks to Arnaud Heritier for identifying it, I believe that this commit is the likely cause. The loss of the request attributes prevents Spring Boot from stopping a timer for the request that was stored in the attributes.
