[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-6452) HttpUrlConnection converts request headers to lowercase - HttpUrlConnection.addRequestProperty overrides existing properties

["Elliott Hughes (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6452?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12835355#action_12835355 ] 

Elliott Hughes commented on HARMONY-6452:
-----------------------------------------

see also http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6684. i've fixed the case problem in Android, but still need to fill out the Apache paperwork.

the submitter didn't give an example of "each property-value can only contain one entry" which, unlike the case problem, isn't obviously true.

>             Project: Harmony
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Classlib

> Problem: Lower-Case-Headers
> ==============================
> In Sun's JRE this code
> 	java.net.HttpURLConnection conn = (java.net.HttpURLConnection)(new java.net.URL("http://...").openConnection());
> 	conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=...");
> 	System.out.println (conn.getRequestProperty("content-type"));
> 	System.out.println (conn.getRequestProperties());
> produces the following output:
> 	multipart/form-data; boundary=...
> 	{Content-Type=[multipart/form-data; boundary=...]}
> The Property-Name "Content-Type" is stored case sensitive but it can be fetched in lower-case.
> The resulting Request-Header sent to the Web-Server is case sensitive.
> On Android 1.6 (which uses Apache Harmony) the same Code produces the following output:
> 	multipart/form-data; boundary=...
> 	{content-type=[multipart/form-data; boundary=...]}
> This time the Property-Name "Content-Type" is stored in lower-case. The resulting Request-Header is also sent in lower-case. That's a violation of the HTTP 1.1 spec, and certain service providers may ignore such Request-Headers.
> In harmony 5.0 r901653 the output is the same as on Android 1.6 but the resulting Request-Header is sent case-sensitive.
> Problem addRequestProperty overrides existing properties
> ==============================================
> Existing Properties should be appended.
> Info
> ==============================================
> The class org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.Header is not correct implemented. It only works with lower-case property-names and each property-value can only contain one entry.
> Question
> ==============================
> 1. Does anybody know how to find out which version of harmony is used by Android 1.6? I tried System.getProperties() but that didn't help.
> 2. I would like to attach a patch to this issue but I don't know how? Simply copy it into the Description? Is there a File-Upload?
