Description

The following snippet:

String url = "http://yahoo.com";
HttpClient httpClient = new ContentEncodingHttpClient();
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url);
String content = httpClient.execute(get, new BasicResponseHandler());

throws:

java.io.IOException: Attempted read from closed stream.

whereas the following snippet runs fine:

String url = "http://yahoo.com";
HttpClient httpClient = new ContentEncodingHttpClient();
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(get);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
String content = EntityUtils.toString(entity);

These two snippets should be functionally the same (putting the entity body into content). Creating a JIRA per the recommendation of Oleg from httpclient-users.
