             Summary: ClientProtocolException occurs when retries after 
receiving 503
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1456
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1456
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.3.2, 4.3.1
            Reporter: Liu Kumai
            Priority: Minor


When HttpClient retries a POST request after receiving 503 (service temporary 
unavailable), ClientProtocolException occurs. On second request, Content-Length 
header is already set and the RequestContent created by HttpClientBuilder 
doesn't allow overriding it.

There's a workaround:

{code}
HttpClientBuilder builder = HttpClientBuilder.create();
builder.setServiceUnavailableRetryStrategy(new 
DefaultServiceUnavailableRetryStrategy(2, 100));
builder.addInterceptorFirst(new HttpRequestInterceptor() {
    @Override
    public void process(HttpRequest request, HttpContext context) throws 
HttpException, IOException {
      if (request.containsHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_LEN)) {
        request.removeHeaders(HTTP.CONTENT_LEN);
      }
    }
});
{code}

I think HttpClientBuilder should provide an option like this:
{code}
