Sangjin Lee updated GERONIMO-3824:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: GERONIMO-3824.patch

I have a proposed fix for this.

The idea is to keep looping to add all the remaining contents from the buffer.  
We do this until the session is closed by the server to terminate the response. 
 The ProtocolDecoder.finishDecode() provides a natural point where one can 
complete the response when session is getting closed.

I was able to reproduce the problem against a vanilla Tomcat 5.5.26 
installation, and verify the fix.  Please review the fix, and apply it if you 
find it acceptable.  Also, you may want to propagate this change to the version 
of AHC in the sandbox based on the mina trunk.

FYI, the mina trunk now has a very nice notion of state-machine classes that 
express these decoding states succinctly.  This problem can be handled by a 
state named ConsumeToEndOfSessionDecodingState, and that's where I got the hint 
from...

> I've been testing AHC against different servers, and found an interesting 
> case.
> I configured AHC not to reuse connections (which makes AHC insert 
> "Connection: close" in its requests).  Then I pointed to a main index.jsp 
> page for a Tomcat 5.5.25 installation.  What I noticed then is the server 
> does not chunk the content nor sends the Content-Length header.  It simply 
> closes the connection to terminate.
> This is not a good thing to do, but it is not exactly illegal either, it 
> appears according to the spec.  In this case, however, the protocol codec 
> gets confused, and throws a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
> HttpResponseDecoder makes an explicit assumption that you either chunk the 
> response or specify the Content-Length header.  Please see 
> HttpResponseCoder.processContent(), and notice the lack of the else clause.  
> As a result, HttpResponseCoder transitions to the STATE_CONTENT_READ state, 
> and thinks it is done with the response (although the content is null).  But 
> HttpResponseDecoder gets invoked again right away, and that second entry into 
> doDecode() is what throws the exception.  Please see the following call stack.
> I think at least we should be able to handle a case where the server 
> terminates a response without specifying the Content-Length header...
