Hello,

I'm using httpclient-4 (more precisely 4.1.2) to send the content of a =
stream (a huge file in this case) to my Tomcat's upload servlet using =
the following code:

HttpRequest httpRequest =3D new HttpPut(destination);
InputStreamEntity entity =3D new InputStreamEntity(inputStream, =
contentLength);
((HttpPut)httpRequest).setEntity(entity);
httpClient.execute(httpRequest,handler);

It worked fine.=20

I later added an authentication mechanism to prevent unauthorized user =
to upload files. If someone tries to upload without being authenticated =
the servlet directly responds with an HttpServletResponse.SC_FORBIDDEN =
without even processing the request's InputStream.

The problem I am facing is that despite the fact that the request is =
rejected on the server side, my client keeps sending the whole content =
of the InputStream resulting in a waste of network resources.

Here is a sample trace of execution:
12:00:32,813 -> call to execute
12:00:32:936 -> server sends an SC_FORBIDDEN error
12:00:44:883 -> response handler execute (and I detect the SC_FORBIDDEN =
status)
Network activity shows that the whole content of the file has been sent =
on the line.=20

I have tried several server sides trick like reading one byte of the =
input stream then closing it but nothing worked.

Is there a way to tell the httpclient to stop streaming the content of =
the file when the response is forbidden (or any other status different =
of 200) ?

Any insights will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Regards,
David
