Response Content Error

["Gerdes, Tom" <TG...@OldRepublicTitle.com>]

I am having a problem reading the response body text being sent back by
the server that I send a GET request to.   The response body appears to
me to not be uncompressed.  I am not sure if this an error in my java
application or an error by the server.   When I run a separate trace
tracing my Web Browser connecting to the same site, it is able to
uncompress the response text from the server.   When I do a wire trace
of my Httpclient 3.0 session the data is not returned as uncompressed.
I tried to receive the response in the Java application using the
getResponseBodyAsString() and then later tried
getResponseBodyAsStream().  Neither was able to provide the response as
a text value.  What can I do to get the response body text.  

 

Here is a snippet of the wire trace:

Why are you sending this in the first place? Stock HttpClient does NOT 
handle any content encoding.

> FINE << "Content-Encoding: gzip[\r][\n]"

In your case this should do the trick:

InputStream in = method.getResponseAsStream();
Header enc = method.getResponseHeader("Content-Encoding");
if (enc != null && "gzip".equals(enc.getValue())) {
   InputStream in = new GZIPInputStream(in);
}

Hello Tom,

> FINE >> "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate[\r][\n]"

HttpClient does not and will not support content compression.
If you decide to send an Accept-Encoding header, then your
application should be prepared to deal with compressed responses.
Otherwise, don't send that header.
See section 5.5 of the primer, last paragraph:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/ForAbsoluteBeginners#head-8ce973d0347a2eba238f594c47f478035c51ea66

cheers,
