HttpClient: disabling chunked encoding

I am using the Apache Commons HttpClient along with Restlet to call a restful web service. Unfortunately, my server (based on Ruby on Rails) does not like the Transfer-Encoding: chunked that HttpClient is using by default.

Is there any way to disable the usage of chunked encoding for POSTs from the client?

Solution

  • As said in Restlet mailing list, in Restlet version 2.1, you can set ClientResource#entityBuffering property to true to cache content in memory and prevent chunked encoding.
