http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31246 JVM bug 4949631 causes BufferOverflowException in HttpMethodBase.getResponseBodyAsString ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-09-16 11:57 ------- Alan, The method works perfectly for large responses. You have already discoverd that the problem is inside Sun's VM implementation. If you use any other VM (Sun 1.3.1, any IBM, any Blackdown) there is no bug. HttpClient is not broken. Nothing to fix here. We are not going to work around Sun's bugs at the HttpClient level as long as there exists a simple workaround feasible for the user. e.g. using streams. I also don't like your idea of an ResponseTooLargeException. It is perfectly legal, although not very intelligent, to use getResponseAsString for multimegabyte responses. I guess that at least API Doc improvements should be made to that method. But this has nothing to do with Sun's VM bug. It should rather push users towards using streams instead of buffered responses. A warning message could further help developers but I find it completely optional. I will attach a patch for that in a minute.
