Http connections not being closed

[Codexxl]

We're running prometheus-to-cloudwatch in a kubernetes pod to scrape our selenium endpoint for metrics. This is working but after a couple of hours it causes the selenium exporter to become unavailable as the http connections are being held open so no new ones can be created. We're having to restart the exporter to get everything working again. Is there a way to get prometheus-to-cloudwatch to close the http connections after it has made them so that it isn't leaving them hanging?

this is what I'm struggling as well. Any workaround?

@jjuraszek We had to resort to a cron job that restarted our exporter every couple of hours so that we could force close the connections.

This open PR #39 seems to fix the problem.

Now that #39 is merged, can this issue be closed?
