How can I migrate call to HttpMethodBase.setConnectionCloseForced(true) from commons-httpclient 3.x to httpcomponents-client 4.x?

Question

I have some code that I need to migrate from commons-httpclient 3.x to httpcomponents-client 4.x (or newer). In some error handling code, there are calls to setConnectionCloseForced(true) on subclasses of HttpMethodBase, such as GetMethod or PostMethod. What would be the equivalent in httpcomponents-client 4.x?

HttpMethodBase httpMethod = /* some value */;
try {
    // do something
} catch (Exception e) {
    // handle error
} finally {
    // how to convert this?
    httpMethod.setConnectionCloseForced(true);
}
