java.lang.IllegalStateException: Connection is not open

Hi HttpClient people,


I'm creating an Http filter, I have to replace the calls to java.net API methods with the Apache HTTP Client 3.1 API. This filter works properly for GET requests, however it does not work that great with POST requests, the thing is that the filter makes some business and redirection logic depending upon the headers of the request, however for POST requests it has to pass the content as it comes to the target destination.

The problem comes when it passes the content of the POST request, it takes forever to pass the content until a timeout error pops-up



            //THIS SNIPPET NEVER ENDS
                            if (httpRequest.getMethod().equals("POST")) {
                                //URL redirectUrl = new URL(resourcePath.toString());
                                //HttpURLConnection httpURLConn = (HttpURLConnection) redirectUrl.openConnection();
                                //httpURLConn.setDoOutput(true);
                                HttpConnection connection  = httpClient.getHttpConnectionManager().getConnection(hostConfiguration);
                                if(!connection.isOpen()) connection.open();

                                //BufferedOutputStream theServletBOSW = new BufferedOutputStream(httpURLConn.getOutputStream());
                                BufferedOutputStream newTheServletBOSW = new BufferedOutputStream(connection.getRequestOutputStream());
                                //ServletInputStream theSIS = httpRequest.getInputStream();
                                ServletInputStream newTheSIS = httpRequest.getInputStream();
                                //while ((read = theSIS.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                                    //theServletBOSW.write(buffer, 0, read);
                                //}

                                while ((newRead = newTheSIS.read(newBuffer)) > 0) {
                                    newTheServletBOSW.write(newBuffer, 0, newRead);
                                }

                                //theServletBOSW.flush();
                                //theServletBOSW.close();
                                //theSIS.close();

                                newTheServletBOSW.flush();
                                newTheServletBOSW.close();
                                newTheSIS.close();
                            }


                int responseCode = httpClient.executeMethod(hostConfiguration, httpMethod);






What's wrong?

Thank you!!!
