Hi,
BTW, it's not what the original topic is about but very closely related:
I just discovered that if the HTTP server returns an error code
(e.g. sendError(500) in an HttpServlet) then a Java client using
URLConnection
will bomb on IOException while trying to retrieve, e.g., getResponseCode(),
UNLESS URLConnection.getHeaderField() is called first.
Has anyone else encountered such a behaviour? Nothing in the docs, web
sites
(bug parade, message boards), books and the JDK 1.2.2 source mentions that
this is the expected behaviour. Burned a few days on this one...
I'm using the JDK 1.2.2 which comes with JBuilder 3.5 on Windows 2000 and
Tomcat 3.1 for debugging.
Cheers,
--Amos
