[groovy-user] HttpBuilder getting raw stream from a response?

[Dave King]

I'm using HttpBuilder to do a Post and if I try to read the response I
get an exception that seems to be an issue with the deflation

by: java.util.zip.ZipException: unknown compression method
at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(InflaterInputStream.java:147)

There seems to be a known work around to this issue:

But to do that I need the raw input stream from the server response
and not a reader. Is there anyway to do this with HttpBuilder?

No because the exception happens when the reader is created by the
framework. But good idea.
