RFE: Method to return an InputStream that includes both HTTP headers
and HTTP body
At the moment, the HttpMethod interface has a method
getResponseBodyAsStream() that returns an InputStream of the HTTP body.
I need a method that returns the _entire_ HTTP response, including the
HTTP headers and body, in a single InputStream.
The reason for this is that I need to pass the InputStream to JavaMail's
MimeBodyPart constructor, and MimeBodyPart requires the HTTP headers to
properly set the MIME headers.
Currently, what I do is:
* call getResponseHeaders()
* For each element in the array of Headers, add them to a StringBuffer
* Add a \r\n to the StringBuffer after all the headers
* Create a ByteArrayInputStream out of the StringBuffer's String.getBytes()
* Create an SequenceInputStream that includes the ByteArrayInputStream
and the result of getResponseBodyAsStream()
As you can see ... it is quite inefficient.
Regards,
John

I should qualify that the line containing the HTTP response code _not_
be included in the returned InputStream

Thanks ... Will it make it to the next alpha ( or beta ) release?

Sounds reasonable. Maybe we can find an easy way to do it. We could add
another property "parseHeaders" (default true) to set before you make
the request.

Definitely ... unless of course setFollowRedirect() is set to false.

I assume in case of redirection, authentication and the like, you only
want the stream from the final request.
