Description

Using Commons HttpClient and an URL Resolver, it is possible for the HttpClientHandler to hang.

The following seems to correct the problem:

    public InputStream openStream(URL url) throws IOException {
        GetMethod get = doGet(url);
        if (!checkStatusCode(url, get)) {
// Make sure the number of connections does not get exhausted
            get.releaseConnection();
//
            throw new IOException(
                    "The HTTP response code for " + url + " did not indicate a success."
                            + " See log for more detail.");
        }
        return new GETInputStream(get);
    }

    public void download(URL src, File dest, CopyProgressListener l) throws IOException {
        GetMethod get = doGet(src);
        // We can only figure the content we got is want we want if the status is success.
        if (!checkStatusCode(src, get)) {
// Make sure the number of connections does not get exhausted
            get.releaseConnection();
//
            throw new IOException(
                    "The HTTP response code for " + src + " did not indicate a success."
                            + " See log for more detail.");
        }
        FileUtil.copy(get.getResponseBodyAsStream(), dest, l);
        dest.setLastModified(getLastModified(get));
        get.releaseConnection();
    }
