NT 3.51, sp5, Pentium, SuperCede runtime client
>Description:
One of our (SuperCede) customers reported a problem using the URLConnection
class to read the HTML off your page.  In particular, the header shows up in
the input stream, instead of being parsed.

I've only been able to determine that some decision is being made in the
jdk1.02 sun.net.www.* class libraries, which we distribute.   We do not license
the Sun VM, however, so I do not have access to source.  Our customer reports
this is a problem with the Sun JDK1.02 also.

This may be an HTTP/1.1 protocol issue - I hope you can enlighten me or make
this problem go away!
>How-To-Repeat:
Here's a small program which when run using SuperCede, and presumably JDK1.02,
will show unexpected header information being read:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class Source1
{
	public static void main (String args[])
	{
		try {
			URL turl = new URL("http://www.apache.org");
			System.out.println( turl.toString() );
			URLConnection curl = turl.openConnection();
			System.out.println( curl );
			InputStream ins = curl.getInputStream();
			System.out.println( ins );
			byte[] buff = new byte[10000];
			int bread = ins.read(buff);
			System.out.println("\nread "+bread+"\n");
			if ( bread > 0 ) {
				String str = new String(buff,0,0,bread);
				System.out.println(str);
			}
			ins.close();
		} catch (Exception ex) {
			System.out.println(ex);
		}
	}
}
>Fix:
Nope.  Thanks for your time.  Apologies if this is well understood - I tried
searching your problem database for "compatibility" and "1.02" but turned up
nothing.

State-Changed-Why:
This is a known problem with the JDK 1.0.2 release.  It
does not understand the HTTP/1.1 header information.  Apache
is emitting the correct headers for the HTTP/1.1 protocol,
but the JDK hasn't caught up yet.  (At least it hadn't as
of 1.0.2.)  Please see closed report #285 in the Apache
bug database (http://www.apache.org/bugdb.cgi) for a
workaround.

State-Changed-Why:
This problem has been reported to Sun's JavaSoft unit as
a bug in the JDK 1.0.2 and 1.1 libraries.  No feedback from
them yet.  In the meantime, Apache servers can add the
following lines to their configuration to WORK AROUND this
issue:

BrowserMatch HotJava/1. force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch Java1. force-response-1.0

This will be noted in the FAQ as well.

State-Changed-Why:
Sun has acknowledged that this was a bug in the JDK 1.0.2
libraries.  They report that it is fixed in the 1.1
class libraries (I have not yet verified this personally).
The workaround is to add a BrowserMatch directive to the
Apache configuration; the solution is to rebuild/configure
your applications to use the JDK 1.1 libraries.  See the
FAQ (<http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ>) for the
details of the BrowserMatch syntax.
