Hi Oleg, I think you are probably right... we can read the entity fully, it's just that the connection is never released... & we have very little control over these remote servers. The only solution i can think of in this case is to disable content compression, don't accept gzip.
Are there any other solutions you can think of ?

If not, then i think this may be a bug. > > David David While this may well be a bug in HC I think it is more likely that GZIP content stream is incorrectly terminated which causes HC to assume that more data is still to come.
