--------------------------------------------
Summary: DecompressingHttpClient rethrows an HttpException as an
IOException
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1273
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1273
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 4.2.2
Reporter: Sebastiano Vigna
The execute() method of DecompressingHttpClient catches an HttpException and
rethrows it as a ClientProtocolException, which is an IOException. The
documentation and examples state clearly that when an HttpException is thrown,
resources must be released (abort(), consume(), etc.), but when an IOException
is thrown, the connection is closed for you. By rethrowing the wrong type,
people (like me) are deeply puzzled, as after getting an IOException an attempt
to reuse the connection generates a "still allocated" exception, which should
not happen (if you believe the documentation).
