RedHat 6.1
>Description:
If I open an HTTP connection, and read from the input
stream, I don't just get the body of the response; I
get the headers, too.  The only way around this is to
ask for the headers first, and then read from the stream.
>How-To-Repeat:
The attached tarfile contains a patch and a Java source
file (DemonstrateChunked.java).  Compile and run
DemonstrateChunked.java; it will make an HTTP request
and then print out what it reads from the input
stream; you will see the status line and headers before
the body of the resource.
>Fix:
Apply the patch included in the tarfile.
