Why do I get empty request from the Jakarta Commons HttpClient?
- by polyurethan
I have a problem with the Jakarta Commons HttpClient. Before my self-written HttpServer gets the real request there is one request which is completely empty. That's the first problem. The second problem is, sometimes the request data ends after the third or fourth line of the http request:
POST / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:4232
For debugging I am using the Axis TCPMonitor. There every things is fine but the empty request.
How I process the stream:
StringBuffer requestBuffer = new StringBuffer();
InputStreamReader is = new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream(), "UTF-8");
int byteIn = -1;
do {
byteIn = is.read();
if (byteIn > 0) {
requestBuffer.append((char) byteIn);
}
} while (byteIn != -1 && is.ready());
String requestData = requestBuffer.toString();
How I send the request:
client.getParams().setSoTimeout(30000);
method = new PostMethod(url.getPath());
method.getParams().setContentCharset("utf-8");
method.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/xml; charset=utf-8");
method.addRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
method.setFollowRedirects(false);
byte[] requestXml = getRequestXml();
method.setRequestEntity(new InputStreamRequestEntity(new ByteArrayInputStream(requestXml)));
client.executeMethod(method);
int statusCode = method.getStatusCode();
Have anyone of you an idea how to solve these problems?
