Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-2409:
-----------------------------------------------
[~snicoll] As said above one should be using the attributes of HttpEntity such
as HttpRntity#getContentEncoding and not those of the response message.
We cannot make everyone happy, can we? There are people who would like to have
the original message unaltered and they are actually correct. The original
message should not be meddled with. If you would like headers of the original
message stripped you can still do that with a custom interceptor.

> Content-Length header not removed/modified when decompressing
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2409
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2409
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 5.6
> Reporter: Cristian Vat
> Priority: Major
>
> When decompressing gzip or other compression schemes the Content-Length
> header is not modified/removed anymore as it was before, this can lead to
> unexpected behaviors like truncation depending on caller behavior.
>
> Originally thought it was a spring issue with RestClient as
> https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/36064
> Summary:
> * Content-Encoding: gzip
> * Content-Length: 9075
> * actual read content if reading fully: 56815
>
> It's a combination of Spring and HttpClient behaviors but it lead to
> truncation at the compressed content length.
> I checked JDK HttpClient and Jetty HttpClient and they remove the
> Content-Length header if doing decompression.
> The same seems to have been the case in HttpComponents HttpClient but then
> the code that removed the headers was removed on 20th October in
> [https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/commit/56122fd33fb8a67d23369a81f6e1d89aabf4ba10]
