I am using HTTPClient to connect to a web site which returns the response in
GZip compressed format. I was previously just using
new GZIPInputStream(method.getResponseBodyAsStream()
to return the inputstream. I now have a requirement to determine how large
the compressed response is(to determine bandwidth usage), as the server is
not returning content-length I thought I would do the following
create a string buffer
create a buffered reader for getResponseBodyAsStream()
read the response and append to my string buffer
Now at this point I have a stringbuffer with the compressed content, I can
use this to get the response length.
Then I tried a
return new GZIPInputStream(new
ByteArrayInputStream(sb.toString().getBytes()));
It falls over with the following
java.io.IOException: Corrupt GZIP trailer
at java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream.readTrailer(Unknown Source)
at java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder$CharsetSD.readBytes(Unknown Source)
at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder$CharsetSD.implRead(Unknown Source)
at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.read(Unknown Source)
Anyone got any ideas what the issue might be? Thanks BK
