Gaspar,
The whole point is that HttpClient#executeMethod method does NOT
retrieve the response content. This method executes the request, reads
the status line and response headers, makes sure that the response looks
sane and then terminates. At this point it is up to you what you do with
the response body. You can get it as one big chunk with
HttpMethod#getResponseBody or HttpMethod#getResponseBodyAsString, or as
a stream with HttpMethod#getResponseBodyAsStream and read the content out in
smaller chunks as you see fit

Hope this clarifies things a little
