client cache currently allows incomplete responses to be passed on to the client
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-958
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-958
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Cache
Reporter: Jonathan Moore
Priority: Minor
Per the HTTP/1.1 spec:
"A cache that receives an incomplete response (for example, with fewer bytes of
data than specified in a Content-Length header) MAY store the response.
However, the cache MUST treat this as a partial response. Partial responses MAY
be combined as described in section 13.5.4; the result might be a full response
or might still be partial. A cache MUST NOT return a partial response to a
client without explicitly marking it as such, using the 206 (Partial Content)
status code. A cache MUST NOT return a partial response using a status code of
200 (OK)."
(http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html#sec13.8)
For example, if a 200 response shows up with 128 bytes in the body but a
Content-Length header of 256, the cache MUST NOT pass this through unchanged.
