Hello all.
I looked in the bug database for this but couldn't find anything.
We are calling objHttp.executeMethod() with method type Post. A strange is
happening the first time we change the info being sent in out HTML form -- it
fails with a "server failed to respond" error. The second time we send that
same form data, it works, always.
I debugged it until I found that in HttpParser.readRawLine(), the following
while:
public static byte[] readRawLine(InputStream inputStream)
...
while ((ch = inputStream.read()) >= 0) {
...
}
fails after the first iteration, and ch is equal to '-1', which causes
HttpClient to throw an Exception. As I said, it only happens the first time you
send the form, and it happens 99.9% of the time on the first try.
We just did a "what the heck" test with version 3.1 and it seems to be fixed,
but we are hesitant to install an alpha.jar on the client's machine.
Anyone a) seen this error b) know for sure if it's fixed in 3.1 c) know of any
other fix and d) when 3.1 will be final? (on the JIRA page it says it IS final
already ...)
Many thanks in advance!
Bob
