Apache HttpClient 未显示响应的 Content-Length 和 Content-Encoding headers

Question

我安装了 Apache httpcomponents-client-5.0.x，在查看 http 响应的 headers 时，我很震惊它没有显示 Content-Length 和 Content-Encoding headers, 这是我用来测试的代码

import org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.classic.CloseableHttpClient;
import org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.classic.CloseableHttpResponse;
import org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.classic.HttpClients;
import com.sun.net.httpserver.Headers;

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(new URI("https://www.example.com"));
CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(request);
Header[] responseHeaders = response.getHeaders();
for(Header header: responseHeaders) {               
    System.out.println(header.getName());
}
// this prints all the headers except 
// status code header
// Content-Length
// Content-Encoding

无论我尝试什么，我都会得到相同的结果，就像这样

Iterator<Header> headersItr = response.headerIterator();
while(headersItr.hasNext()) {
    Header header = headersItr.next();
    System.out.println(header.getName());
}

或者这个

HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
System.out.println(entity.getContentEncoding()); // NULL
System.out.println(entity.getContentLength());   // -1

根据 6 年前提出的 this question，即使是旧版本的 Apache HttpClient，这似乎也是一个老问题。

Of-course 服务器实际上返回那些 headers，正如 Wireshark 确认的那样，Apache HttpClient 记录自己

顺便说一句，称为 JDK HttpClient 的 java.net.http 库运行良好并显示所有 headers.

我做错了什么，或者我应该报告一个存在多年的错误吗？

Answer 1

在这种情况下，content-length 可能会被忽略。

HttpGet request = new HttpGet(new URI("https://www.example.com"));
request.setHeader("Accept-Encoding", "identity");
CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(request);

我可以看到以下内容

HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
System.out.println(entity.getContentLength());
System.out.println(entity.getContentEncoding());

输出

...
2020-04-03 03:04:17.760 DEBUG 34196 --- [           main] org.apache.hc.client5.http.headers       : http-outgoing-0 << Content-Length: 1256
...
1256
null

我想提醒您注意正在发送的 header：

http-outgoing-0 >> Accept-Encoding: gzip, x-gzip, deflate

告诉服务器这个客户端可以接受 gzip，x-gzip 并压缩内容作为响应。响应表明它是 'gzip' 编码的。

http-outgoing-0 << Content-Encoding: gzip

我相信 HttpClient 正在内部透明地处理这个问题并使内容可用。

如您引用的另一篇文章所述，其中一个答案表明可以应用 EntityUtils.toByteArray(httpResponse.getEntity()).length 方法来获取内容长度。

Answer 2

这里是 HttpComponents 提交者...

你没有仔细看Dave G说的话。默认情况下，HttpClientBuilder 将启用透明解压缩，您不再看到某些 headers 的原因是 here:

if (decoderFactory != null) {
  response.setEntity(new DecompressingEntity(response.getEntity(), decoderFactory));
  response.removeHeaders(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_LENGTH);
  response.removeHeaders(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_ENCODING);
  response.removeHeaders(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_MD5);
} ...

关于JDK HttpClient，它不会进行任何透明解压，所以你看到的是压缩流的长度。需自行解压
