Not exactly. The second problem is that the code makes assumption that
two String constant-pool constants in two different classes will be the
same
object. That is an assumption about VM that is met in J9 and RI.

Other VMs might not have this kind of optimization and the code will not
work
on those VMs. I've fixed the code to not depend on that assumption.


I accepts this reason, it will be better if the original codes use
predefined constants instead of hard coded string.

Then I had to develop a test that would
1. passes on RI
2. fails on unfixed Harmony
3. passes on fixed Harmony

The code you suggested below passes on unfixed Harmony, so
it is not a good regression test.


The codes below is not  regressiont test,  it's just a test to enforce the
original internal contract between  setRequestMethod() and
getOutputStream().

and the internal contract may be broken only if some of the codes
refactored

I partially agree. If you suggest a test that would be easier to
understand,
I'll be happy to replace the current one.


How about this one below?

   public void testGetOutputStream() throws Exception {
       // Regression for HARMONY-482
       HttpURLConnection c = new MockHttpURLConnection(new URL("
http://127.0.0.1";), port);
       c.setDoOutput(true);

       c.setRequestMethod(new String("POST"));
       c.getOutputStream();

       c.setRequestMethod(new String("GET"));
       c.getOutputStream();

       c.setRequestMethod(new String("PUT"));
       c.getOutputStream();
   }

   private static class MockHttpURLConnection extends
org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection{
       protected MockHttpURLConnection(URL url, int port) {
           super(url, port);
       }
       //override this method to set method directly without validation
       public void setRequestMethod(String method){
           this.method = method;
       }
   }

Thanks,
Mikhail
