What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.11.10 linux/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

yes, still in version go version go1.14 linux/amd64

but less threadcreate

What did you do?

I open 2 goroutines and do http request in loop, last 120 seconds

mock-echo-server.go: https://play.golang.org/p/n8oe5bLP3SS

build and run (listen on 127.0.0.1:9876)
./mock-echo-server

http-client.go: https://play.golang.org/p/99AXCkBZp8q

build and run (do http request(127.0.0.1:9876) for 120 seconds and sleep, pprof listen on 127.0.0.1:11111)
./http-client

What did you expect to see?

1 hour gone, the threadcreate number should decrease to normal

What did you see instead?

threadcreate number is still keep in maxium(70+ for go 1.11.10, 20+ for go 1.14)

image for prrof, since http request has been stop for 1 hour

go 1.11

go 1.14

I wonder why http-client.go still keep those idle threads while most of goroutine has exit for a long time.

Is there a way to stop those idle threads?
