http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25468 Unchecked response header length can cause HttpClient to loop endlessly ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-12-12 11:13 ------- Christian, This issue has already been discussed a while ago, and the outcome of it, I thought, was a clear and plain 'neyt'. Please correct me if I am wrong, but there's nothing in RFC that puts a limit on the size of HTTP headers. If your specific application must deal with broken HTTP servers that produce infinite streams of garbage, you should provide a custom HttpParser implementation (which is not currently possible with the existing architecture, but this is an entirely different story), instead of trying to get the proposed changes (that hardly making code quality any better, IMHO) incorporated into the stock version of HttpClient. -1 from me Oleg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
