Sun HttpServer not returning binary entity with status code 500

[Albert Latacz]

We have spotted an anomaly with Sun's HttpServer whereby it doesn't return any response for binary entity when status code is 500.

for the code below

import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpExchange;

import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpHandler;

import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer;

import java.io.*;

import java.net.InetSocketAddress;

public class Learning {

  private static void copy(InputStream inputStream, OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException {

    int read;

    byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];

    while ((read = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {

      outputStream.write(buffer, 0, read);

    }

  }

  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

    HttpServer server = HttpServer.create(new InetSocketAddress("0.0.0.0", 9003), 0);

    server.createContext("/", new HttpHandler() {

      @Override

      public void handle(HttpExchange httpExchange) throws IOException {

        httpExchange.getResponseHeaders().add("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream");

        InputStream inputStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("example.xls");

        ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

        copy(inputStream, outputStream);

        byte[] bytes = outputStream.toByteArray();

        httpExchange.sendResponseHeaders(500, bytes.length);

        copy(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes), httpExchange.getResponseBody());

        httpExchange.close();

      }

    });

    server.start();

  }

}

use example.xls file attached.

Is there something we're missing?

Thanks
