> Hello. This is my first time posting an issue to this project. I've done my best to be helpful.
> Many modern RESTful APIs (e.g. Amazon Web Services) will return a generic status description (e.g. "Bad Request") and details in the body of the response on an error (e.g. code 400).
> However the org.apache.http.client.fluent.Response.returnContent() ignores the body (content) on a return code of over or equal to 300, causing the debugging information to be lost. This leads to generic exception messages.
> A possible solution would be to include the body in the exception string, as demonstrated in the below ResponseHandler.
> {code:java}
> protected static class FaultTolerantContentResponseHandler
> extends ContentResponseHandler {
> @Override
> public Content handleResponse(final HttpResponse response)
> throws HttpResponseException, IOException {
> final StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
> final HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
> Content content = entity == null ? null : handleEntity(entity);
> if (statusLine.getStatusCode() >= 300) {
> String message = statusLine.getReasonPhrase();
> if (content != null) {
> message += ", body was " + content.asString();
> }
> throw new HttpResponseException(statusLine.getStatusCode(),
> message);
> }
> return content;
> }
> }
> {code}
> Alternatives would be to create a new subclass of HttpResponseException that would have an additional getErrorContent() method to preserve backwards compatibility.
