    text
    copied!<p>I'm using Apache Commons HttpClient to grab some data from a server. My problem is that the returned XML data is always truncated to the first 64k. I was hoping this might just be a case of setting a limit on the relevant object, but apparently not - or at least, I can't find any information about such a method. I'm assuming it's a client issue as the server belongs to another company and presumably serves the data fine to everyone else.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>My code btw is super simple:</p> <pre><code>protected String send(Server server, String query) throws Exception { PostMethod post = new PostMethod(server.getUrl()); post.setParameter("XMLString", query); try { client.executeMethod(post); return post.getResponseBodyAsString(); } finally { post.releaseConnection(); } } </code></pre> <p>fyi, same thing happens with the following code using InputStreams rather than the getResponseBodyAsString() method.</p> <pre><code>protected String send(Server server, String query) throws Exception { PostMethod post = new PostMethod(server.getUrl()); post.setParameter("XMLString", query); try { client.executeMethod(post); InputStream stream = post.getResponseBodyAsStream(); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream)); String line = null; StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); while ( (line=reader.readLine()) != null ) { sb.append(line); } return sb.toString(); } finally { post.releaseConnection(); } } </code></pre> <p>So, do you know if there is a limit set somewhere? The fact that the String is response is <em>always</em> 64k does seem to suggest there must be. But where?!</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Alastair</p>
