[jira] Closed: (HTTPCLIENT-681) InputStream obtained from HttpMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream() could not be closed before the end of the stream

["Roland Weber (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-681?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Roland Weber closed HTTPCLIENT-681.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

This works as designed. Closing the stream will read to the end of the message body in order to re-use the connection. Use HttpMethod.abort() to shut down the connection without reading to the end.

cheers,
  Roland

> Hi Apache,
> When I get an InputStream and try to close it before reading it to the end it simply does not get closed...
> here is a code example:
> =========================================================================================
> import java.io.IOException;
> import java.io.InputStream;
> import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
> import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;
> public class InputStreamCloseBug {
>     
>     public static void main(String[] args) {
>         InputStream inputStream = null;
>         HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
>         GetMethod getMethod = new GetMethod("http://dlc.sun.com/netbeans/download/5_5_1/fcs/200704122300/netbeans-5_5_1.tar.gz");
>         try {
>             httpClient.executeMethod(getMethod);
>             inputStream = getMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream();
>             for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
>                 inputStream.read();
>             }
>             inputStream.close(); // same if I use getMethod.releaseConnection()
>             System.out.println("are we done yet ?"); // yeah, we are done after a few minutes - depending on the connection
>         } catch (IOException ex) {
>             ex.printStackTrace();
>         }
>     }
> }
> =========================================================================================
> it takes as long as the stream is read to its end
> for me is about 6-8 minutes
> I've tried also the following
> =========================================================================================
> import java.io.IOException;
> import java.io.InputStream;
> import java.net.MalformedURLException;
> import java.net.URL;
> public class InputStreamClose {
>     public static void main(String[] args) {
>          URL url;
>          try {
>               url = new URL("http://dlc.sun.com/netbeans/download/5_5_1/fcs/200704122300/netbeans-5_5_1.tar.gz");
>               InputStream input = url.openStream();
>               for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
>                    input.read();
>               }
>               input.close();
>               System.out.println("are we done yet!");
>          } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
>               e.printStackTrace();
>          } catch (IOException e) {
>               e.printStackTrace();
>          }
>     }
> }
> =========================================================================================
> which works as expected
> it takes about 1 second
> I believe that this is a critical bug
> I haven't tried version 3.1RC1
> I hope this helps
> Happy bugfixing :)
> Regards
