Hi, We are trying to solve a very simple problem for *HttpClient4* -- SocketException for HTTP GET. HttpClient4 gets the first "chunk" of data from server (Tomcat-6.0.18) and then the server unexpectedly closes the connection.
We tried the following HttpClient4 versions to fix this but it did not work! - 4.1-beta1 - 4.1-alpha2 - 4.1-alpha1 - 4.0.3 - 4.0.2 - 4.0.1 The same piece of code works with HttpClient3. Do you know if HTTP GET has any known bugs for HttpClient4? We could not find any on the internet. The debug logs report the following: Sending request: GET /layouts/xxxxx?websiteId=xxx&userId=xxxxx HTTP/1.1 org.apache.http.wire - >> "GET /layouts/xxxxx?websiteId=xxx&userId=xxxxx HTTP/1.1[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - >> "Accept: application/json[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - >> "Host: xxx-xxxx.xxxxxxx.xxxxx[EOL]" [note] org.apache.http.wire - >> "Connection: Keep-Alive[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - >> "[EOL]" org.apache.http.headers - >> GET /layouts/xxxxx?websiteId=xxx&userId=xxxxx HTTP/1.1 org.apache.http.headers - >> Accept: application/json org.apache.http.headers - >> Host: xxx-xxxx.xxxxxxx.xxxxx [note] org.apache.http.headers - >> Connection: Keep-Alive org.apache.http.wire - << "HTTP/1.1 200 OK[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - << "Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2011 09:53:15 GMT[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - << "Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - << "Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000000[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - << "Expires: Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:53:15 GMT[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - << "Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - << "Content-Language: en-GB[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - << "Content-Length: 7506[EOL]" [note] org.apache.http.wire - << "Connection: close[EOL]" org.apache.http.wire - << "[EOL]" org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultClientConnection - Receiving response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK org.apache.http.headers - << HTTP/1.1 200 OK org.apache.http.headers - << Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2011 09:53:15 GMT org.apache.http.headers - << Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 org.apache.http.headers - << Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000000 org.apache.http.headers - << Expires: Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:53:15 GMT org.apache.http.headers - << Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8 org.apache.http.headers - << Content-Language: en-GB org.apache.http.headers - << Content-Length: 7506 [note] org.apache.http.headers - << Connection: close uk.co.igindex.springrest.client.RequestProxyImpl - Http call return status code=200 [note] org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultClientConnection - Connection shut down org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.ThreadSafeClientConnManager - Released connection is not reusable. org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.ConnPoolByRoute - Releasing connection [HttpRoute[{}->http://xxx-xxx.xxx.xxxxx]][null] StopsServer:2011-02-09 09:53:15,616 [main] DEBUG org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.ConnPoolByRoute - Notifying no-one, there are no waiting threads Content-length: 7506 org.apache.http.wire - << "{" org.apache.http.wire - << """ org.apache.http.wire - << "i" ...
