James Leigh commented on HTTPCORE-219:
--------------------------------------
I'm not building a protocol, I'm building a platform on which protocols can be
implemented. The protocol implementations will not be written in Java. They
will be read from an external source at runtime, so I need more runtime
flexibility in the HTTP methods the server can process.
> HttpRequestParser Fails to Detect Requests Without a Message Body
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCORE-219
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-219
> Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpCore NIO
> Affects Versions: 4.0.1
> Reporter: James Leigh
>
> The HttpRequestParser uses the request method to determine if the request has
> a message body. However, HTTP 1.1 states that the presence of a message-body
> in a request is signaled by the inclusion of a Content-Length or
> Transfer-Encoding header field in the request's header fields. The parser
> should be changed to use the header to determine if a message body is present.
> As is a POST or PUT request is received without a message body cannot be
> processed. Furthermore, a GET request with a message body cannot be processed
> either.
