EntityUtils.toString() doesn't detect/report less content being returned than was promised ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCORE-235 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-235 Project: HttpComponents HttpCore Issue Type: Bug Components: HttpCore Affects Versions: 4.0.1 Reporter: Steve Loughran Also on my review of EntityUtils.toString(), I see that it's code to take an input stream and a content length only uses the content length parameter to set the size of the buffer -there is no attempt to verify that the amount of data received was as expected and raise an {{IOException}} if less data arrived. While this code will appear to work, especially on loopback and local connections, it is flawed long-haul where connections are often dropped early. I propose streaming the entity content to a byte array, validating the length, then building a string in the appropriate charset from the buffer if it is valid. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@hc.apache.org
