Memory not reseting after downloading a (large) file

[Bence77]

I use Mockey to download large files with proxy (100MB+), and I noticed, that after each download, the memory is not 'reseting', so if I download a 100MB file, then the memory usage jumps up with ~200-300MB, and on another download, more 200-300MB is used by Mockey, then after some time, it shows that there is not enough java heap space.
I just picked a link to test: http://ovh.net/files/1Gb.dat
So locally the url: 127.0.0.1:8080/service/http://ovh.net/files/1Gb.dat

Mockey is recording the transactions; that is the reason memory continues to climb up. See the 'History' tab and 'clear history' to purge the records. Let me know if that works.

I cleared the history, but the program is still use the same (high) amount of memory. Normally the program use ~100MB memory, when I start the download, it use 300, and when it finishes, it jump to 700. In the next download while downloading 900, and after it 1300, etc... In the history if i click to the view, the memory usage jumps to 5GB, and my browser is frozen.

I'll looked into it further.

FYI, this is difficult to fix. Here's what I see when I run against a large data file: the app' hits memory heap exception and I believe garbage collection recovers very little memory in each run.

Is it necessary to store the file? I don't think, that anyone wanna look inside into a (large) file from the ui, it can be enough to store only the regular informations about it. Or the problem occurs outside of the history?

Unfortunately, the problem happens outside the history. I know where it happens - during read-in after a few tries. I have a few more things to try.
