Hi Zsolt,

The RESTEasy Client uses the Apache HTTP Client in the underlying, so
the behavior may also be affected by the Apache HTTP Client version it
uses. Have you tried to use the  RESTEasy 6.x client? In addition,
creating a simplified sample project to see the project on Github
would be helpful to investigate the problem :-)

After a Tomcat restart I'm able to do a successful test call again, but only for one time! After a successful call, I'm getting the same exception in the next call...
