Invalid Content-Length on redirect
SoapUI 4.0.0 seems to handle redirects incorrectly. I've spent ages debugging the following sequence: HTTP POST, answered by a 302, followed by a HTTP GET. The sequence works nicely in Firefox, but in SoapUI it fails in the last request. The problem seems to be the Content-Length of the last GET-request in the sequence; SoapUI sets it to the same as the initial HTTP POST, wheras Firefox (correctly, I presume) skips it. Below is the log output of a tcptunnel I set up between the client and the server. Please note the difference in Content-Length of the last GET-requests. On Jetty, this extra Content-Length field causes the server to hang and the SoapUI test keeps waiting for the response forever. On Tomcat, it causes the server to consume parts of the next request(!) which causes the server to fail in various ways. Right now it seems the only workaround is to disable Follow-Redirects in the initial POST, and construct the next GET manually. However it would be really nice if the fix for this would make it into your next bugfix release.
