Hi,
In HttpUrlConnection, if the chunk length is set to Integer.MAX_VALUE,
our code was trying to initialize a buffer of size
greater than that, which was resulting in an integer overflow, and
consequently a NegativeArraySizeException. This fix
ensures that while initializing the internal buffer, we never exceed the
maximum size of the chunk length fixed by the user,
and hence avert the NegativeArraySizeException.
I have added a test to cover the case. The test will however try to
create a buffer of size Integer.MAX_VALUE. I could
change the value of the JVM heap, but the required size (~2 GB) will be
too large for most machines to support.
However, I am open to advice as to what I should do in this case.
