[jira] [Created] (HTTPCLIENT-2023) Whitelist Char Array in DefaultHttpCacheEntrySerializer

Olof Larsson created HTTPCLIENT-2023:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Whitelist Char Array in DefaultHttpCacheEntrySerializer
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-2023
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2023
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpCache
    Affects Versions: 4.5.10
            Reporter: Olof Larsson


*Intro*
Please add char array to ALLOWED_CLASS_PATTERNS in DefaultHttpCacheEntrySerializer.

*Further Explanation*
The current ALLOWED_CLASS_PATTERNS looks like this:
{code:java}
private static final List<Pattern> ALLOWED_CLASS_PATTERNS = Collections.unmodifiableList(Arrays.asList(
        Pattern.compile("^(\\[L)?org\\.apache\\.http\\.(.*)"),
        Pattern.compile("^(\\[L)?java\\.util\\.(.*)"),
        Pattern.compile("^(\\[L)?java\\.lang\\.(.*)$"),
        Pattern.compile("^\\[B$")));
{code}
As we can se byte arrays are allowed (at the end) but not char arrays. This currently blocks me from upgrading from 4.5.8 to 4.5.10 because the HttpCacheEntry may contain char arrays.

The field "HttpCacheEntry.responseHeaders.headers" can be of the implementing type "BufferedHeader" which contains a "private final CharArrayBuffer buffer;" field, which contains "private char[] buffer;".

*Proposed Solution*
Maybe it would make sense to *whitelist all arrays of primitives* (as opposed to just arrays of bytes)? That way future code changes does not risk breaking the DefaultHttpCacheEntrySerializer?
