Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCORE-559:
--------------------------------------------
[~dmaplesden] I committed your patch and also corrected the failing test case.
It was obviously built to match the actual behavior of the class rather the
expected behavior defined by the HTTP spec.
Many thanks for contributing this PR.

>
> 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.
