[jira] [Updated] (HTTPCLIENT-1403) HttpClient cannot handle contatenated gzip streams

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1403?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Oleg Kalnichevski updated HTTPCLIENT-1403:
------------------------------------------

      Priority: Minor  (was: Critical)
    Issue Type: Improvement  (was: Bug)

Transparent content decompression can be disabled or overridden by using a custom HttpProcessor. Therefore I do not see this issue as critical or even major. 

Can you also tell me which versions of Java are affected?

> HttpClient uses java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream which in many versions of java is unable to handle concatenated gzip streams properly. Concatenated gzip streams are themselves valid gzip streams. This makes fetching data from certain servers impossible due to the transparent nature of HttpClients Entity Decompression.
> Suggest using commons-compress instead of GZIPInputStream/GZIPOutputStream
