[jboss-remoting-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBREM-1046) HTTPClientInvoker throws NullPointerException when HttpURLConnection.getInputStream() returns null

[Ron Sigal (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBREM-1046?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12435469#action_12435469 ] 

Ron Sigal commented on JBREM-1046:
----------------------------------

HTTPClientInvoker.useHttpURLConnection() now checks if HttpURLConnection.getInputStream() returns null.

There is no particular unit test.  In fact, CoyoteInvoker always returns an Exception along with an error code of 500, so it's not clear how to reproduce the problem inside Remoting.

Will observe hudson results before closing issue.

> When an HTTP server returns an error code and no content, it is possible for java.net.HttpUrlConnection.getInputStream() to retun null, which causes a NullPointerException in org.jboss.remoting.transport.http.HTTPClientInvoker.useHttpURLConnection().
