为什么 http 请求使用 Apache HttpClient5 收到 http 404 错误，如果使用抢先 BASIC 身份验证

Question

I need help with apache http 5 client example described here . My goal is to do exactly the same as CURL:

curl --verbose --user "admin:admin" --data-binary @20200802112010-test.csv  'http://localhost:8080/api/test/write?db=test' --trace-ascii trace.txt

I modified example to perform POST instead of GET:

private void _sendFile(File file) throws IOException, URISyntaxException {
        BasicScheme basicScheme = new BasicScheme();

        basicScheme.initPreemptive(new UsernamePasswordCredentials("admin", "admin".toCharArray()));

        HttpClientContext httpClientContext = HttpClientContext.create();

        HttpHost httpHost = new HttpHost("http", "localhost", 8080);

        httpClientContext.resetAuthExchange(httpHost, basicScheme);

        try (CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.createDefault()) {
            FileEntity fileEntity = new FileEntity(file, ContentType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED);

            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://localhost:8080/api/test/write?db=test");

            httpPost.setEntity(fileEntity);

            try (final CloseableHttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpHost, httpPost, httpClientContext)) {
                if (httpResponse.getCode() == 204) {
                    return;
                }

                _logger.warn("Unexpected return code {}", httpResponse.getCode());
            }
        }
    }

My server side code is Spring Boot App generated by JHipster and controller that handles request is this:

@Profile({"dev", "igor"})
@RequestMapping("/api/test")
@RestController
public class DBEndpointSimulatorResource {

    /**
     * {@code POST  /write} : Simulates file import on INRAE InfluxDB server.
     *
     * @param dataBase the database name
     * @param content the request body
     *
     * @return the {@link ResponseEntity} with status {@code 204 (No Content)}
     * @throws URISyntaxException if the Location URI syntax is incorrect.
     */
    @PostMapping("/write")
    public ResponseEntity<?> simulateWrite(@RequestParam("db") String dataBase, @RequestBody String content)
        throws URISyntaxException {

        _logger.debug("REST request to process file for: {}", dataBase);

        if (content == null) {
            throw new BadRequestAlertException(
                "A content must not be empty", "DB FILE", "ERROR-SIMULATOR-001");
        }

        final ResponseEntity.HeadersBuilder<?> headersBuilder = ResponseEntity.noContent();

        return headersBuilder.build();
    }

    private final Logger _logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(DBEndpointSimulatorResource.class);

}

Once executed _sendFile code receives HTTP error 404. I turned on logging for httpclient 5 and it logs out proper connect to server side which responds with 404:

In the beginning I thought controller at spring boot side is wrong, but I tried same request with cURL it ended with success:

    => Send header, 236 bytes (0xec)
0000: POST /api/test/write?db=test HTTP/1.1
0027: Host: localhost:8080

I see difference in content type where apache http client appends character encoding. Now I wonder:

1. should I force utf8 character encoding and how?? or
2. something else is wrong in my apache httpclient post example

Answer 1

Problem I described never occurred in production, only in my local development environment which is MacOSX Catalina.

I rarely restart my MacBookPro and seems it caused issue. After restarting hardware, issue never happen again.

This is not quite answer but it is only way to inactivate question:(
