[jira] Reopened: (HTTPCORE-195) ChunkDecoder is overly sensitive to truncated chucks

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-195?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Patrick Moore reopened HTTPCORE-195:
------------------------------------


This is a extraordinary lazy answer because:
1) We are not talking about a separate workaround to each site.
2) There is no logging at all of the details on why the chunk is bad (i.e. how many bytes read, how many bytes are missing, http header information)
3) It is unreasonable to expect the user of the nio library to be able to control and be able to solve the problem with other servers.
4) there are viable straight forward solutions.

In our case we only crawled 20 websites before we started running into this problem.

Possible solutions:

1)  a quiet configuration option ( log at debug level)
2)  the ability to do error processing on the retrieved text.

> We are frequently encountering this issue. We think this might be related to something on the server that we are scanning. But that doesn't matter. We need to handle such cases without exceptions. (From my perspective, such things should generate a debug message -- certainly not an exception that ends processing and throws away the retrieved content! )
