Oleg Kalnichevski updated HTTPCORE-233:
---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 4.1
> EntityUtils.toString() turns missing content into ""
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCORE-233
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-233
> Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpCore
> Affects Versions: 4.0.1
> Environment: Ubuntu 10.04 x64 java 6u21
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.1
>
>
> I understand that some people may view this as expected behaviour, but I'm
> trying to track down why some of my tests are failing with a message body of
> "" rather than some JSON, and it looks to me a bit like {{EntityUtils}} is at
> fault for hiding the real problem.
> Looking at line 138 of {{EntityUtils}} , the code goes
> {code}
> InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
> if (instream == null) {
> return "";
> }
> {code}
> that is, null content is turned into an empty string. I'd be happier if null
> content got returned as null, then I'd be able to distinguish problems. As it
> is, I'm going to have to copy the method and tweak it.
