So, you are saying you are not in control of how the device generates
response messages? If that is the case, this is how you can work it
around

PoolingClientConnectionManager cm = new PoolingClientConnectionManager()
{
@Override
protected ClientConnectionOperator
createConnectionOperator(SchemeRegistry schreg) {
return new DefaultClientConnectionOperator(schreg) {
@Override
public OperatedClientConnection createConnection() {
return new DefaultClientConnection() {
@Override
protected EntityDeserializer
createEntityDeserializer() {
return new EntityDeserializer(new
LaxContentLengthStrategy());
}
};
}
};
}
};
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(cm);
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://www.google.com/";);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
EntityUtils.consume(response.getEntity());
