Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCORE-234.
----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

This problem has nothing to do with I/O or response parsing. It is about trying 
to coerce an entity into a string of invalid length. I personally find 
IllegalArgumentException perfectly appropriate in this case.

> Looking at the code, I can see that {{EntityUtils.toString()}} throws an 
> {{IllegalArgumentException}} if the entity's content-length is >MAX_INT. But 
> that's not technically a bad parameter, it's that the response is out of 
> range. More of an IOException or ParseException, rather than a RunTime 
> exception which a lot of code isn't going to expect to have to catch.
