@Willem: We have found that this issue can be fixed by making a change to the HttpProducer.java class. The issue is that we're extracting the body after calling the "exchange.getOut()".
This means that if there's an exception while extracting the body the original message will not get sent to the errorhandler/onException. Instead a message with empty headers and body is sent. I moved the "extractResponseBody(method, exchange)" to a line above "exchange.getOut()" and am able to get the desired result. You can see the attached diff file to see the change that we have made. http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/file/n3893573/HttpProducer.java.diff HttpProducer.java.diff -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Http-route-returning-with-200-but-also-getting-read-timed-out-tp3741631p3893573.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
