Android HttpsUrlConnection java.io.EOFException

Question

I have a problem where my HttpsURLConnection will throw an EOFException when i try to open this URL: http://www.weather.com.cn/data/cityinfo/101210101.html

Code:

URL url = new URL("http://www.weather.com.cn/data/cityinfo/101210101.html");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
StringBuffer out = new StringBuffer();
byte[] b = new byte[1024];
for(int n;(n = in.read(b)) != -1;){
    out.append(new String(b, 0, n));
}

The following is the StackTrace：

Are you getting this issue only on Android because it is working properly as a java program? — Amber Beriwal

when I open URL like these on the same domain, I didn't get this issue: weather.com.cn/data/list3/city.xml weather.com.cn/data/list3/city19.xml — gou pigao

I have the same problem too. I have fixed it by adding :

connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "musixmatch");

or

connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "");

after connection.setRequestMethod("GET");

Setting connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", ""); effectively fixed the issue because it doesn't wait anymore for gzipped output and so doesn't trigger a timeout.

You may add connection.setRequestProperty( "Accept-Encoding", "" ); after connection.setRequestMethod("GET"); because the http response header of the url is "Content-Encoding:gzip". You can see an explaination here and another here.
