Description

HttpClient doesn't show to me the Content-Length or Content-Encoding headers of the response, even thought the server is responding with them, for example this code

 

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());
}

 

prints all the returned headers except the Content-Length or Content-Encoding headers
