http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31246 JVM bug 4949631 causes BufferOverflowException in HttpMethodBase.getResponseBodyAsString ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-09-15 15:41 ------- We strongly discourage users to use getResponseBodyAsString if the content is large. getResponseBodyAsString imposes buffering and copying the data in the VM which can easily exhaust the memory available to the VM. HttpClients should avoid buffering the response by using getResponseBodyAsStream(). Maybe we can log a warning message, if the content length is unknown or larger than some megs and the user calls getResponseBodyAsString or getResponseBody. The drawbacks of calling those methods and why to alternatives should be documented in the API. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
