[jira] Resolved: (HTTPCLIENT-847) Handling of a buggy response to
HEAD request
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-847?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-847.
------------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Johannes,
I am afraid I do not have any good news for. It is just not possible to work this issue around for non-compliant HTTP servers without breaking compatibility with compliant ones.
However, you can always override the default behavior of HttpClient for a particular application specific context:
(1) subclass HttpRequestExecutor
(2) override HttpRequestExecutor#doReceiveResponse method
(3) provide custom logic for HEAD responses either originating from servers that are known to be broken or based on the 'Server' response header or some other settings
(4) subclass DefaultHttpClient
(5) override DefaultHttpClient#createRequestExecutor method and replace the default implementation with the custom one.
Hope this helps
Oleg

> Issue Type: Question
> Affects Versions: 4.0 Beta 2
> Environment: Java 1.5.0_14
> Reporter: Johannes Koch
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: TestHeadRequestWithBuggyServer.java

>
> I tried to make a HEAD request to some server and discovered, that the server seems to respond in some buggy way. The response is a 302 and contains an entity.
> This makes HttpClient waiting and wainting and ... when redirecting is true.
> What would be the preferred way to make HttpClient stop processing the response in this situation?
