HttpClient invalid headers

[Nicole]

Ok, here's the deal... I'm trying to open a page using Apache HttpClient, but it's throwing an exception:

Caused by: org.apache.http.ProtocolException: Invalid header: Content-Length 932

I can open the page just fine using URLConnection, but HttpClient can't parse the headers.

Any ideas on how to suppress it / get around it?

There's supposed to be a colon after Content-Length isn't there?

[Nicole]

Yep, there should be.

It was a simple request so I was able to replace it with URLConnection, but for some even URLConnection doesn't always fire.

for me its also doesn't fire

If the site does not conform to HTTP, and you are required to support that nonconforming site, then you must connect with plain old sockets and write your own interface.

In the meantime I would complain at whoever is running the broken server
