ide log

I'm now using NB 7.4 beta (build 201306132201) but I have noticed this issue in previous dev builds. Uploading of exception via Exception Reporter constantly fails, and the ide log shows this message:


java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 411 for URL: http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/upload.jsp

I've also noticed a similar error at ide startup:

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 411 for URL: http://statistics.netbeans.org/usageLogCollector

I cannot reproduce; It seems like it may be some temporary server unavailability. I was able to file testing report from 7.4 Beta: http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/exception.do?id=677083 right now.

I understand that this feature is working for other people, but I've been unable to use the exception reporter since I started to try the dev builds for netcat 7.4. Is there any additional logger that I can enable to investigate the cause of this problem?

Comment 3 aldobrucale 2013-06-19 09:20:01 UTC

I have found out that the problem is caused by my http proxy (squid 2.7), which in this case does not handle correctly the "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" request header (I did not investigate deeper). Previous versions of Netbeans, including the new 7.3.1, just send the "Content-Length" header for these requests.

So this is not actually a netbeans bug, but since squid 2.7 is the newest version available for Debian squeeze other users may be affected by this problem.

We can't do anything on our side.

Well, if this problem affects a large number of users, you could revert to the previous behaviour of sending the Content-Length header instead of "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
