response body as stream

[Bogdan Mihaila <bm...@yahoo.com>]

Hello!
   
  I try to download ZIP files with httpclient, and I want to get the response as stream, not as byte[]... It downloades the files (the sizes are Ok), but when I open the archives It gives me: "error in packed file" and "invalid bit length repeat". 
   
  I use the following code:
   
            Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(
                  method.getResponseBodyAsStream(), method.getResponseCharSet()); 
   
            //  I use the Commons IO package
   
                   BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("...."));
                 out.write(IOUtils.toString(reader));
                 out.close();
   
  What can be the problem?
   
  Thanks in advance

Hi,

You should use a FileOutputStream and directly stream the response body 
stream instead of using a Reader and Writer (which performs
character decoding using the supplied charset and therefore corrupts 
your file).
