> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1376
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1376
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.2.4
> Reporter: Carl D'Halluin
> Fix For: 4.2.5

>
> In the following scenario, the HttpClient incorrectly reuses the HTTP/1.1 stream, and actually considers the response body of the first request, to be the HTTP response to a second request.
> Details:
> 1. Client does a simple HTTP/1.1 GET request
> 2. Server responds with a 401 and a WWW-Authenticate header
> 3. Client repeats the GET request but now with an Authorization header
> 4. Server responds with a HTTP/1.1 200 OK but there is no content length. The server sends a response body
> 5. HttpClient ignores the response body by closing the entity content InputStream (or call EntityUtils.consume)
> 6. Client sends a new HTTP/1.1 GET request (totally unrelated to the previous one)
> 7. Client erroneously considers the response body received in step 5 as the response to step 6
> I tracked the bug down in the HttpClient library: Step 2 marks the HTTP connection as reusable. Step 4 should explicitly mark the connection as non-reusable since the only thing the client can do to such an ugly reponse (no content-length) is read until EOF. However, that does not happen in step 4. Hence in step 5 the code sees that the connection is reusable, and doesnt bother consuming the response content at all. The body is reused in step 7
> Here we see 4 times 2 subsequent request
> - first 2 are no authentication no streaming: HttpClient correctly does not reuse connection (see port number)
> - next 2 are no authentication with streaming: HttpClient correctly does not reuse connection
> - next 2 are with authentication with streaming: HttpClient correctly does not reuse connection
> - final 2 are with authentication no streaming: Bug - HttpClient tries to reuse connection given error. Closing the HttpResponse InputStream does not correctly close the underlying Socket
