The server failed to respond with a valid HTTP response

问题描述

在使用 CloseableHttpClient 调用一个URL的时候，底层抛出以下异常信息：

Caused by: org.apache.http.ProtocolException: The server failed to respond with a valid HTTP response

追踪定位

尝试百度后，普遍认为是 HttpClient异常/被占用 的问题。团队讨论分析后认为不然，转战 StackOverflow ，最后判断是调用的URL所在的服务器返回不正确的响应消息，导致DefaultHttpResponseParser解析失败。调整传入的URL后，问题解决。

结语

问题的定位需要细心，不要盲目相信和轻易下结论。
