Description

When a JSON string contains a '{' character, the response stream is incorrectly parsed into OData entities by the org.apache.olingo.client.api.domain.ClientEntitySetIterator class.

Please check the patch file in attachment with a fix for the issue.

This bug has already been reported in February 2015, see https://github.com/apache/olingo-odata4/pull/4. I didn't notice the fix linked to this Github issue before I started coding my own fix, but it looks pretty similar.
