HTTPRequestForIcon is incompatible with Windows Media Player 11
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-886
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-886
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: UPnP Subproject
Affects Versions: felix-1.4.1
Environment: Mac or PC
Reporter: Bruce Jackson
Using the felix UPnP base driver, I'm unable to retrieve icons for Windows
Media Player UPnP content sources.
I've followed the code through, and I come to the class:
org.apache.felix.upnp.basedriver.importer.util.HTTPRequestForIcon
...which is where the trouble is.
This class contains a method:
public InputStream getInputStream()
... Which starts with the comment:
//TODO we should speak about that
... Never a good sign :-) ! I'm trying to understand why the code manually
constructs the HTTP request and does everything at the socket level, rather
than simply:
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
return conn.getInputStream();
I've changed this in my local copy of the base driver, and tested it, and it
works fine. So, either this is a bit of old code that should be fixed, OR
there is a good reason to not use the JDK URLConnection class that somebody
might be aware of.
