Error trying to download a Gzip file.

[S.L]

Hi All,

I use the following code and run the method multiple times, a few times I
get a response in gzip which is what I expect and a few time I get a
response that is completely different(non Gzip and html format) .However if
I download the same URL multiple times using Mozilla or IE I consistently
get the same GZIP response , Is this an error with the server I am trying
to reach to , or do I need to set parameters to get a consistent response ?

Thanks.

The URL I am trying to download is *
http://www.walmart.com/navigation6.xml.gz* , can you please let me know ?
Thanks




  public static byte[] dowloadURL(URL urlToDownload) {

        InputStream iStream = null;
        byte[] urlBytes = null;

        try {

            //HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
            org.apache.http.client.
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();


            HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(urlToDownload.toString());

            HttpResponse response  = httpClient.execute(httpget);

            iStream = response.getEntity().getContent();

            urlBytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(iStream);
            String responseString = new String(urlBytes);
            System.out.println(" >>> The response  string for "
+urlToDownload.toString()+  " is "   +responseString);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.printf("Failed while reading bytes from %s: %s",
                    urlToDownload.toExternalForm(), e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
            // Perform any other exception handling that's appropriate.
        } finally {
            if (iStream != null) {
                try {
                    iStream.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {

                    e.printStackTrace();
