David Maplesden created HTTPCORE-559:
----------------------------------------
Summary: The DefaultBHttpClientConnection will not read a simple
end-of-stream terminated HTTP response body
Key: HTTPCORE-559
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-559
Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HttpCore
Affects Versions: 5.0-beta3
Reporter: David Maplesden
When you use the Classic HttpClient to execute a GET request for a resource
which is returned with no Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header then the
response body (which should be now terminated by the closing of the stream) is
not read. Instead the client returns an empty response with no attempt made to
read from the stream.
I realize that virtually no responses are ever sent this way, they almost
always either have a content length or use chunked transfer encoding, but it is
still legal as per the HTTP spec to return a response without using either of
these and relying on the end-of-stream to terminate the response body.
Currently if a server is doing this, the HttpClient won't receive the response.
I found this problem testing the HttpClient, but I believe the root source of
the problem is in the DefaultBHttpClientConnection implementation.
