We have an application that uses HttpClient to GET/POST requests, etc. It
works fine getting files < 2 Gig, but if we try to GET a zip file that is
> 2 Gig it doesn't work. On the first attempt, the GET completes very
quickly with no errors but the content size is 0 (which is obviously not
correct). On other attempts, the GET request may run for 20 or 30 minutes
while in HTTPClient's requestMethod() before we get error message "The
server xxxxxx.xxx.com failed to respond with a valid HTTP response". It
fails using either HttpClient 3.0.1 or 3.1 (using Java 1.4.2, 1.5, or
1.6).
Is this a known limitation in HttpClient? Or, do I need to do something
different when getting a file > 2G ?
Also, occasionally the same get request fails quickly with the following
exception:
