Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream

1. Problem Description

When use Spring 3.2's DeferredResult, my REST client code encountered this error:

Caused by: java.io.EOFException: Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream

And my restclient tool popped this error:

Byte array conversion from response body stream failed.

2. Analysis and Solution

Google a lot and tried various methods, but didn't resolve it.

Then started debugging inside, at last, found that after using DeferredResult, the response is in gzip format.

Solution:

setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "GZIP");
