> The fix for HTTPCLIENT-1202 removed null checking on the resource field of HttpCacheEntry. Unfortunately, CacheValidityPolicy expects the resource to be non-null, so you can get an NPE on the next cache hit on that entry:
> java.lang.NullPointerException
>   at org.apache.http.impl.client.cache.CacheValidityPolicy.contentLengthHeaderMatchesActualLength(CacheValidityPolicy.java:219)
>   at org.apache.http.impl.client.cache.CachedResponseSuitabilityChecker.canCachedResponseBeUsed(CachedResponseSuitabilityChecker.java:139)
>   at org.apache.http.impl.client.cache.CachingHttpClient.handleCacheHit(CachingHttpClient.java:446)
>   at org.apache.http.impl.client.cache.CachingHttpClient.execute(CachingHttpClient.java:437)
>   at org.apache.http.impl.client.cache.CachingHttpClient.execute(CachingHttpClient.java:353)
> As far as I can tell, the resource will only be null if the response status is one that can never have a response body: 204, 205, or 304. There's other special-case logic for 304 which seems to avoid hitting this code path; but if a server returns a 204 or 205 with a Cache-Control header (unusual, but I saw it happen), you have a problem.
