[jira] Resolved: (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 ]

Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCORE-195.
----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Patrick,

It is just not possible that we include a workaround for each and every broken CGI script out there to the stock version of HttpCore. In this particular case the protocol exception is perfectly reasonable because it signals potential data corruption. This may be not such a big concern for a web crawler but it is serious enough for other types of applications.

Consider developing a custom implementation of ChunkDecoder which is more lenient about HTTP protocol violations that are tolerable for web crawlers.

> Our server is webcrawling.
> 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! )
> http://stuftpizza.com/ seems to reliably result in this problem
> May be TransferEncoding? http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.6
> Either way we need to be able to deal with issues on the other servers.
