[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-1253) URIBuilder setParameter()
method could exceed the http header size.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1253?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13484412#comment-13484412 ]

-----------------------------------------------

URIBuilder is completely HTTP message agnostic. I am not sure I understand what kind of change you are proposing.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1253
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1253
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.2.1
> Reporter: Alan T Chen
> Priority: Minor
>
> Maybe the URIBuilder is not designed with POST vs GET in mind so it will construct the form parameters into the header by default. However, this is an issue when the content exceeds what the header allows.
> the following code will cause issues when the length of the parameters exceed the http header.
> // TODO: need to pass in the target host/port
> URIBuilder builder = new URIBuilder();
> builder.setScheme("http").setHost(targetHost).setPort(targetPort).setPath(s);
> Map<String, String> params = getRequestParameters(servletRequest);
> for (String key : params.keySet())
> {
> String value = params.get(key);
> builder.setParameter(key, value);
> }
> httpPost = new HttpPost(builder.build());
> ========
> I have to fix it by using the httpPost.setEntity() method to ensure the form post will insert all parameters into the body of the http post request instead of the header.
> httpPost = new HttpPost(builder.build());
> Map<String, String> params = getRequestParameters(servletRequest);
> List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(20);
> // add the params
> for (String key : params.keySet())
> {
> String value = params.get(key);
> // only add the http param if both key and value are not null
> if( key != null && value != null )
> nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(key, value));
> }
> httpPost.setEntity( new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs) );
