Httpclient not returning entire response

Question

Using HttpClient 4.0, Im having an issue where the response I get from the ResponseHandler is only about half of what the actual page content should be (~61k bytes in the string vs ~125k in the page returned to a browser). I cant seem to find any place where there might be some sort of limit that would limit this. Any ideas?

Update: One other thing I have found is that the size returned by the entity's getContentLength method is -1, whereas it is a normal value for the previous request. The javadoc seems to indicate that means the length is unknown- Any ideas why that might be the case?

Update2: I tried finding a response for a page more than 80KB. Its interesting that maximum length of the response string is always 18210 characters. Any ideas??

This might not be it, but sometimes this can happen if you aren't flushing a stream somewhere.
