OK,
I've discovered why I'm not seeing the body as the result of the PUT,
it's a feature of HttpClient.
Tomcat is sending me the following response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 132
Content-Type: text/xml
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2002 13:21:35 GMT
Content-Length: 132
Server: Apache Tomcat/4.0.2 (HTTP/1.1 Connector)
SOAPAction: ""
Followed by the data.
Notice that there are two (identical) content-type and content-length
headers. The value of the Content-Type
org.apache.commons.httpclient.Header is now "132, 132" and so doesn't
parse.
This is being done by the JAXM Ref Impl - it's calling
resp.addHeader("Content-Length", 132) twice. I've seen mention that
HttpClient handles some pathological cases - is this something it should
handle?
