I am trying to stream the result of a file download directly into another post using spring's RestTemplate
My current approach is the following:
ResponseEntity downloadResponse = restTemplate.getForEntity(fileToDownloadUri, InputStreamResource.class);
InputStreamResource imageInputStreamResource = downloadResponse.getBody();
ResponseEntity response = restTemplate.exchange(storageUri, POST, new HttpEntity<>(imageInputStreamResource), String.class);
However, I get the following exception running the code above:
org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessException: I/O error on POST request for "http://host:port/path/some.jpg": stream is closed; nested exception is java.io.IOException: stream is closed
at org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate.doExecute(RestTemplate.java:6
...
Caused by: java.io.IOException: stream is closed
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$HttpInputStream.ensureOpen(HttpURLConnection.java:3348)
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$HttpInputStream.read(HttpURLConnection.java:3373)
It seems that the response is always closed as the final step of processing. With the response, the HttpURLConnection is closed, and the stream is no longer processable.
I would like to be able to implement this scenario without having to hold the file completely in memory or writing it to a file (as described here).
Any hints are highly appreciated.

If you want to forward the response directly without ever holding it in memory, you have to directly write to the response:
@RequestMapping(value = "/yourEndPoint")
public void processRequest(HttpServletResponse response) {
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
response.setStatus(HttpStatus.OK.value());
restTemplate.execute(
fileToDownloadUri,
HttpMethod.GET,
(ClientHttpRequest requestCallback) -> {},
responseExtractor -> {
IOUtils.copy(responseExtractor.getBody(), response.getOutputStream());
return null;
});
}
