Rest client deletes body content

[francescobande]

We are using resteasy-client to consume our API.
We observed this behaviour: if our API returns an error status with a body, the latter is present when I call directly the API (e.g. by using curl or swagger-ui), but it is not present when I consume it using your client.
By debugging your library, I noticed that the below mentioned code does not take the response's entity into consideration.

resteasy/resteasy-client/src/main/java/org/jboss/resteasy/client/jaxrs/engines/ManualClosingApacheHttpClient43Engine.java

Lines 448 to 453 in d8d9245

	response.setProperties(request.getMutableProperties());
	response.setStatus(res.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
	response.setReasonPhrase(res.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase());
	response.setHeaders(extractHeaders(res));
	response.setClientConfiguration(request.getClientConfiguration());
	return response;

I was wondering if this had been done on purpose or, if that is not the case, it might be added.

What version of RESTEasy are you using?

The body/content is set further up in

resteasy/resteasy-client/src/main/java/org/jboss/resteasy/client/jaxrs/engines/ManualClosingApacheHttpClient43Engine.java

Lines 375 to 394 in d8d9245

	@Override
	protected void setInputStream(InputStream is) {
	stream = is;
	resetEntity();
	}
	public InputStream getInputStream() {
	if (stream == null) {
	HttpEntity entity = res.getEntity();
	if (entity == null)
	return null;
	try {
	hc4Stream = entity.getContent();
	stream = createBufferedStream(hc4Stream);
	} catch (IOException e) {
	throw new RuntimeException(e);
	}
	}
	return stream;
	}

.

You could potentially be seeing the result of https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RESTEASY-2825. However, curl should show the same thing.
