Oleg Kalnichevski updated HTTPCLIENT-1274:
------------------------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Minor)
Fix Version/s: 4.2.3
The 304 response messages MUST NOT contain a message-body, so this is a major
bug. The response object should not have an entity at all.

> NullPointerException on 304 Not Modified response
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1274
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1274
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Cache
> Affects Versions: Snapshot
> Reporter: Francois-Xavier Bonnet
> Fix For: 4.2.3
>
> Attachments: TestCachingExec.patch.txt
>
>
> When sending a conditional request (If-None-Match for example) and the
> backend responds with a 304 Not Modified, the response contains an HttpEntity
> but you get a NullPointerException whenever to try to call one of the methods
> :
> - org.apache.http.HttpEntity.getContent()
> - org.apache.http.HttpEntity.writeTo(OutputStream)
> I would expect getEntity() to return null if there is no entity in the
> response.
> As a workaround I can test on the contentLength before calling these methods
> and call EntityUtils.consume(entity) to get sure that the connection is
> released but this makes things more complicated.
