Resolution: Invalid
> HTTP 400 Bad Request - Apache HTTP Client - HTTP POST JSON Message
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2253
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2253
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: dinesh sachdev
> Priority: Major
>
> For one of our projects, we faced issue where-in -
> * We were utilizing Apache HTTP Client 4.5 and doing HTTP Post of JSON Message.
> * This was resulting HTTP Response as
> * {color:#ff0000}HTTP /1.1 400 Bad Request ... {color}
> On analysis, we found that HTTP Post was failing just for Big JSON Files of size greater then 7 MB. So, initially we thought it to be a server side issue.
>
> But after further analysis we found that Unix CURL command was able to successfully POST message to API. Thus, we came to know that something was wrong with Scala (JAVA) client code that was using HTTP Client.
>
> Solution -
>
> * We further updated the code and used _java.net.\{HttpURLConnection, URL}_ instead of _org.apache.http.client.methods.\{HttpPost}_ and it worked fine for us.
>
> Even though, we specified below in code snippet -
> val post = new HTTPPost("url")
> post.setHeader("content-type", "application/json")
> post.setEntity( new StringEntity("json"))
> ....
> ....
> client.execute(post)
> ...
>
> HTTP Header contains _Content-type:application/json._ But, StringEntity encodes sequence of bytes with default encoding (ISO 8859-1) instead of ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON, unless it is explicitly specified like below -
> * _new_ _StringEntity(string, ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON)_
>
> Either this should fail with specific message like - Content Type is different in header and StringEntity, instead of HTTP 400 Bad Request,
> Or ContentType set in header should be given priority and StringEntity should be encoded accordingly.
