Avro throws EOFException when reading bytes

[Steve Sun <st...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

My ``readExternal(input)`` keeps throwing me EOFException.

Here's my Deserializer:

    public static SearchMaterializationDto
deserializeToSearchMaterialization(byte[] buffer) {
            SearchMaterializationDto searchMaterializationDto = new
SearchMaterializationDto();
            try {
                ObjectInput input = new ObjectInputStream(new
ByteArrayInputStream(buffer));
                searchMaterializationDto.readExternal(input);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                throw new IOException(e);
            }
            return searchMaterializationDto;
        }

Here's how I'm calling the method:

            String endpoint = "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/items?itemIds="
+ URLEncoder.encode(itemIds, "UTF-8");

            HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
            HttpGet request = new HttpGet(endpoint);

            String USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0";
            // add request header
            request.addHeader("User-Agent", USER_AGENT);

    //        request.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
            request.addHeader("Content-Type", "avro/binary");

            HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);

            System.out.println("Response Code : "
                + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());

            byte[] bytes = EntityUtils.toByteArray(response.getEntity());
    //        for (byte b : bytes){
    //            System.out.println("b = " + b);
    //        }
            SearchMaterializationDto deserializedReponse =
SearchMaterializationAvroObjectSerializer.deserializeToSearchMaterialization(bytes);
            System.out.println(deserializedReponse.toString());



What I'm suspecting is content-type is wrong/unstandard one: "avro/binary",
but it's the one per [Avro spec](
http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/spec.html#HTTP+as+Transport).

Any help please?

Thanks
Steve
