http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31246 JVM bug 4949631 causes BufferOverflowException in HttpMethodBase.getResponseBodyAsString ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-09-16 09:51 ------- Hi Guys, I don't agree that the bug is invalid (of course thats up to you :-). If the method doesn't work for large responses, I'd expect to see Ortwin's suggestions of a log message as described below and something in the documentation referring to the sun bug report and warning of undefined behaviour if the response is over 16Mb. What would be safer (IMO) is fail-fast with some kind of ResponseTooLargeException (or something). As for our specific situation, it's a safe bet our responses will be 5-20Mb and so I'll take the advice and go ahead and use the Stream method, if I happened to be in a situation where I had no idea how big the response was before I tried to get it, it seems a little worrying that a perfectly reasonable-looking method might fail at random intervals.
