[jira] [Resolved] (HTTPCORE-274) Invalid Header

["Oleg Kalnichevski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-274?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCORE-274.
----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

We cannot log exceptions in HttpCore because it does not depend on any particular logging toolkit. Besides, one may actually want to have such requests rejected as invalid as the header is clearly in violation of the HTTP spec. However, one can employ a custom application specific response parser in order handle such messages more gracefully.

Yangqing, please see this section of the HttpClient tutorial:

> When I tried to get a page using HttpClient, I got the exception below, the url is "http://ss.97down.info/mimi/file.php/L87S8KD.html".
> Caused by: org.apache.http.ProtocolException: Invalid header: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

> The page can be displayed normally in IE and Chrome. I traced the source code of HttpCore, and find this line in BufferedHeader.java, 
>  int colon = buffer.indexOf(':');
> I found that except other normal headers, there was really an odd header, the value is :
> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
> The format is ugly, there is no colon in it, and caused an exception.
> The orginal header the Chrome gets is like:
> HTTP/1.1 200 OK
> Connection: close
> Date: Sat, 04 Sep 2010 08:46:38 GMT
> Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
> X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
> X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.8
> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
> Content-type: text/html
> Yes, it's malformated, but Chrome parsed it as:
> Connection:close
> Content-type:text/html
> Date:Sat, 04 Sep 2010 08:46:38 GMT
> Server:Microsoft-IIS/6.0
> X-Powered-By:ASP.NET
> PHP/5.2.8
> I then and a snippet in the for loop of the parseHeaders method of the class AbstractMessageParser.java to ignore this type of error.
>  if(current.indexOf(':')<=0){
>                 continue;
>  }
> It works for me, I hope someone can fix this problem.
> Thanks!
