Greetings, Can't seem to find anything on this in Bugzilla or the list archives, so I thought I'd throw it out to the group before submitting a bug.
This code: ---------------------------------------------------------- import org.apache.commons.httpclient.*; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.*; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpMethodParams; HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); GetMethod method = new GetMethod( "http://212.50.188.107/cgi-win/vebra.cgi?details1?src=vebra&PropertyCode=1007003/ASHGR/38878/3" ); try { // Execute the method. int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method); if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) { System.out.println("Method failed: " + method.getStatusLine()); } // Read the response body. byte[] responseBody = method.getResponseBody(); // Deal with the response. response = new String( responseBody ); System.out.println( "Result from get: " + response ); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage()); } finally { // Release the connection. method.releaseConnection(); } ---------------------------------------------------------- Produces this exception: ---------------------------------------------------------- org.apache.commons.httpclient.ProtocolException: Unable to parse header: HTTP/1.0 200 OK at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpParser.parseHeaders(Ljava.io.InputStream;Ljava.lang.String;)[Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.Header;(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.readResponseHeaders(Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpState;Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection;)V(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.readResponse(Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpState;Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection;)V(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.execute(Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpState;Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection;)I(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeWithRetry(Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethod;)V(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeMethod(Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethod;)V(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HostConfiguration;Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethod;Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpState;)I(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(Lorg.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethod;)I(Unknown Source) ---------------------------------------------------------- If I try the HTTP request manually via telnet, here's what I get for the HTTP response: ---------------------------------------------------------- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0 Date: Tue, 08 Aug 2006 16:31:46 GMT HTTP/1.0 200 OK Content-type: Text/HTML <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Burwell - 1 bed Flat/ Maisonette</title> <script language="JavaScript" > <!-- function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0 window.open(theURL,winName,features); } //--> . . . ---------------------------------------------------------- What do you think? I'm honestly not sure what the cause is. I copied the HTTP response directly from a command prompt window, but it's possible there could be some other white space in there that I didn't include. By the way, I realize the URL is completely malformed, but it seems to work just fine in a browser. The server is also probably doing who knows what contrary to the HTTP spec, but such it is.
