Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream exception

[Philippe Mouawad <p....@ubik-ingenierie.com>]

Hello,
Is there a know issue related to ZLIB management in HTTPClient 4.2.3 ?

We have a report of this exception triggering :
java.io.EOFException: Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream at
java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.fill(Unknown Source) at

I suspected a JDK bug , but it seems the workaround in JMeter is to switch
to Java Implementation:
