Going to buffer response body of large or unknown size. Using getResponseBodyAsStream instead is rec

在修复原有代码bug时，发现日志里经常抛出Going to buffer response body of large or unknown size. Using getResponseBodyAsStream instead is recommended，这种提示。查看了原有代码中的逻辑如下：
... ...
HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
GetMethod getMethod = new GetMethod(url);
int statusCode = httpclient.executeMethod(getMethod);
String respContent = getMethod.getResponseBodyAsString();
... ...
原因就在于使用了getResponseBodyAsString()方法

源码分析

getResponseBodyAsString()源码

	//getResponseBodyAsString()方法源码
    public String getResponseBodyAsString() throws IOException {
        byte[] rawdata = null;
        if (this.responseAvailable()) {
        	//调用了getResponseBody()，容易消耗内存
            rawdata = this.getResponseBody();
        }

        return rawdata != null ? EncodingUtil.getString(rawdata, this.getResponseCharSet()) : null;
    }
    //responseAvailable()方法源码
    private boolean responseAvailable() {
        return this.responseBody != null || this.responseStream != null;
    }
    
    //getResponseBody()方法源码
    public byte[] getResponseBody() throws IOException {
        if (this.responseBody == null) {
            InputStream instream = this.getResponseBodyAsStream();
            if (instream != null) {
                long contentLength = this.getResponseContentLength();
                if (contentLength > 2147483647L) {
                    throw new IOException("Content too large to be buffered: " + contentLength + " bytes");
                }

                int limit = this.getParams().getIntParameter("http.method.response.buffer.warnlimit", 1048576);
                if (contentLength == -1L || contentLength > (long)limit) {
                //这里是warn的原文
                    LOG.warn("Going to buffer response body of large or unknown size. Using getResponseBodyAsStream instead is recommended.");
                }

                LOG.debug("Buffering response body");
                ByteArrayOutputStream outstream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(contentLength > 0L ? (int)contentLength : 4096);
                byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];

                int len;
                while((len = instream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                    outstream.write(buffer, 0, len);
                }

                outstream.close();
                this.setResponseStream((InputStream)null);
                this.responseBody = outstream.toByteArray();
            }
        }

        return this.responseBody;
    }

报WARN的条件是((contentLength == -1) || (contentLength> limit))，也就是说，或者是返回的HTTP头没有指定contentLength，或者是contentLength大于上限（默认是1M）。如果能确定返回结果的大小对程序没有显著影响，这个WARN就可以忽略，可以在日志的配置中把HttpClient的日志级别调到ERROR，不让它报出来。

 当然，这个警告也是有意义的，HttpClient建议使用InputStream getResponseBodyAsStream()代替byte[]getResponseBody()。对于返回结果很大或无法预知的情况，就需要使用InputStreamgetResponseBodyAsStream()，避免byte[] getResponseBody()可能带来的内存的耗尽问题。

如果返回的头信息没有指定长度或长度大于1M则抛出如上异常。
则需把 getResponseBodyAsString（）换成 getResponseBodyAsStream（）即可

    InputStream inputStream = method.getResponseBodyAsStream();  
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));  
    StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();  
    String str= "";  
    while((str = br.readLine()) != null){  
       stringBuffer .append(str);  
    }
