I committed a fix for this problem to HttpCore SVN trunk
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1124215&view=rev
Could you please re-test your application with the latest snapshot of HttpCore
and let me know the result?

>
> Key: HTTPCORE-257
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-257
> Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.1.1
> Reporter: Daniel Rabe
> Fix For: 4.2-alpha1
>
>
> While debugging a separate issue, I noticed that
> DefaultConnectionReuseStrategy is very sensitive to whether the server
> returns a positive content-length or content-length=-1 with chunked encoding.
> In particular, I saw two cases:
> (1) Server returns gzip response with Content-Length=-1, chunked encoding.
> The connection is reused.
> (2) Server returns gzip response with
> Content-Length=<actual-number-of-bytes-in-response> The connection is NOT
> reused.
> This is because of the following code in DefaultConnectionReuseStrategy:
> if (entity.getContentLength() < 0) {
> if (!entity.isChunked() ||
> ver.lessEquals(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_0)) {
> // if the content length is not known and is not chunk
> // encoded, the connection cannot be reused
> return false;
> }
> }
> GzipDecompressingEntity implements its getContentLength as always returning
> -1. However, it is not chunked. Therefore, the connection is not reused.
> I'm not sure if you would consider this a bug or a request for enhancement,
> but it seems to me that if the server is returning an accurate
> content-length, the client should be able to consume that number of bytes,
> then reuse the connection.
