I will upload a patch for this issue in a moment, then we should discuss. :)
> client cache currently allows incomplete responses to be passed on to the
> client

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-958
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-958
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Cache
> Reporter: Jonathan Moore
> Priority: Minor
>
> Per the HTTP/1.1 spec:
> "A cache that receives an incomplete response (for example, with fewer bytes
> of data than specified in a Content-Length header) MAY store the response.
> However, the cache MUST treat this as a partial response. Partial responses
> MAY be combined as described in section 13.5.4; the result might be a full
> response or might still be partial. A cache MUST NOT return a partial
> response to a client without explicitly marking it as such, using the 206
> (Partial Content) status code. A cache MUST NOT return a partial response
> using a status code of 200 (OK)."
> (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html#sec13.8)
> For example, if a 200 response shows up with 128 bytes in the body but a
> Content-Length header of 256, the cache MUST NOT pass this through unchanged.
