Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-1666.
-------------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
HTTP specification does not impose any restrictions on length of content entity
enclosed in HTTP messages. It is a responsibility of the application layer to
ensure that content stream is valid. One can abort request execution from an
observer thread after a particular deadline or close the response after
exceeding a particular max length limit.

> HTTPClient hangs on bad data from server.
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1666
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1666
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.5
> Environment: Java 8 / Linux
> Reporter: Magnus Jason
>
> HttpClient wont give up on a request despite the server sending bad data and
> connection/connectionrequest/socket timeouts being specified.
> If a server periodically sends data like a newline to httpclient, then
> httpclient will just continue to block.
> Code demonstrating the issue:
> https://gist.github.com/magJ/f4cfc650658ea29b1b26
> There should be a way of setting a timeout for how long httpclient should
> attempt to make a request before giving up.
