Older Tomcat 4.0.x specific test case failures

[Oleg Kalnichevski <o....@dplanet.ch>]

Odi
I installed Tomcat 4.0.1 and managed to reproduce the problem. I do get
an error and a failure which do not occur when the test cases are
preformed against Tomcat 4.1.18:

- testHeadAuth (error)
- testGetResponseNotReadAutoRecover (failure) 

At least we may find small comfort in getting consistent results ;-)

Excellent!

I'm happy that you could reproduce this. And I am happy as well that you 
are still in the office as well :-)

Okay. It's okay if a test case does not work with an old Tomcat version 
as long as HttpClient works fine in regular use with the old Tomcat.

Since I'm the one who added at least one of the tests, I think I should 
speak up.

I have observed problems with the older "Connectors" in the Tomcat 
architecture.  I've not looked at this case in particular, but it may 
be, for example, that the client requests a "Connection: close", but 
then the server doesn't close the connection, or the converse, and 
HttpClient gets confused.  I know I tested 4.1.12 with the HttpConnector 
(rather than the latest and greatest CoyoteConnector), and observed that 
Tomcat would close the connection after all "GET" and "HEAD" requests 
that didn't include the redundant "Content-Length: 0" header.  This lead 
to cases where Tomcat would close the connection, but HttpClient didn't 
expect the connection to be closed, and HttpClient would throw a 
"recoverable" exception.  To catch these scenarios, I put in the counter 
for "recoverable" exceptions, to make sure that we are handling cases 
where the connection is closed in a cleaner way.  I also updated a few 
tests to check the "recoverable" exception count, to insure that 
HttpClient was not surprised by the content of the response from the server.

It is possible that Tomcat 4.0.1 really bollixed things up, and this is 
in fact an intractable problem, and we have to live with the two test 
failures.  I hope not.

I don't think I'll have time to look at this problem today, but might 
have time tomorrow.  In the meantime, if you are looking at the problem, 
I hope the above gives some insight into what might be going on.
