size. (was: URIBuilder setParameter() method could exceed the http header
size. )
> URIBuilder setParameter() method could exceed the HTTP header size.
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1253
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1253
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.2.1
> Reporter: Alan T Chen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.3 Alpha1
>
>
> Maybe the URIBuilder is not designed with POST vs GET in mind so it will
> construct the form parameters into the header by default. However, this is
> an issue when the content exceeds what the header allows.
> the following code will cause issues when the length of the parameters exceed
> the http header.
> // TODO: need to pass in the target host/port
> URIBuilder builder = new URIBuilder();
>
> builder.setScheme("http").setHost(targetHost).setPort(targetPort).setPath(s);
> Map<String, String> params =
> getRequestParameters(servletRequest);
> for (String key : params.keySet())
> {
> String value = params.get(key);
> builder.setParameter(key, value);
> }
> httpPost = new HttpPost(builder.build());
> ========
> I have to fix it by using the httpPost.setEntity() method to ensure the form
> post will insert all parameters into the body of the http post request
> instead of the header.
> httpPost = new HttpPost(builder.build());
> Map<String, String> params =
> getRequestParameters(servletRequest);
> List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new
> ArrayList<NameValuePair>(20);
> // add the params
> for (String key : params.keySet())
> {
> String value = params.get(key);
> // only add the http param if both key and value are not
> null
> if( key != null && value != null )
> nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(key,
> value));
> }
> httpPost.setEntity( new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)
> );
