[flutter_svg] SvgNetworkLoader never closes internal HTTP client #158928

@navaronbracke

Description

@navaronbracke

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a SvgNetworkLoader instance, without passing it a custom http client
  2. Call prepareMessage(), which will create an internal client
  3. The created client is never calling its close() method
    3a. I had hoped to demonstrate this with a test that enables leak tracking, but the HTTP client does not register itself with the memory allocations tooling

Expected results

The client is closed at the end of postMessage()

Actual results

If the SvgNetworkLoader is not provided with a client, its internal client is not cleaned up.

Code sample

Code sample
import 'package:flutter_svg/svg.dart';

void main() async {
  const String url =
      'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flutter/packages/b9ac917daeb0fbf5bd6ad4a7d2a69ab81749d767/third_party/packages/flutter_svg/example/assets/flutter_logo.svg';

  const SvgNetworkLoader loader = SvgNetworkLoader(url);

  await loader.prepareMessage(null);
}
