Tom Fitzhenry commented on HTTPCORE-422:
----------------------------------------

My workaround is to pass a NoopResponseConsumer, rather than a 
BasicAsyncResponseConsumer:
{code}
public class NoopResponseConsumer extends 
AbstractAsyncResponseConsumer<HttpResponse> {

    private HttpResponse response;

    @Override
    protected void onResponseReceived(HttpResponse response) throws 
HttpException, IOException {
        this.response = response;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onContentReceived(ContentDecoder decoder, IOControl ioctrl) 
throws IOException {
    }

    @Override
    protected void onEntityEnclosed(HttpEntity entity, ContentType contentType) 
throws IOException {
    }

    @Override
    protected HttpResponse buildResult(HttpContext context) throws Exception {
        return response;
    }

    @Override
    protected void releaseResources() {

    }
}
{code}

>             Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: HttpCore NIO
>    Affects Versions: 4.4.4
>            Reporter: Tom Fitzhenry
>            Priority: Minor
>
> HttpAsyncRequestExecutor#responseReceived(NHttpClientConnection) calls 
> HttpAsyncResponseConsumer#responseReceived(HttpResponse) via 
> HttpAsyncClientExchangeHandler#responseReceived(HttpResponse).
> See 
> https://github.com/apache/httpcore/blob/4.4.x/httpcore-nio/src/main/java/org/apache/http/nio/protocol/HttpAsyncRequestExecutor.java#L302
>  .
> It does this even if the request is a HEAD request. If your 
> HttpAsyncResponseConsumer is a BasicAsyncResponseConsumer, then this will 
> allocate a buffer of size content-length kB (or 4kB, if content-length does 
> not exist).
> For a simple proxying Java app, profiling revealed this the allocation due to 
> this was a bottleneck.
> It'd be nice if 
> Are there use cases for calling 
> HttpAsyncResponseConsumer#responseReceived(HttpResponse) on HEAD requests? If 
> not, perhaps it could not be called.
> FWIW, it looks like httpclient doe not call the corresponding method for HEAD 
> requests:
