There is a bug in Android HttpClient that was fixed in HttpClient 1.2 but not backported to Android

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1177

https://github.com/apache/httpclient/commit/be6347aef0f7450133017b775113a8f3fadd2f1c

I have opened a bug report at: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=65909
