Description

In S60 Editions prior to S60 3rd Edition FP2, calling getReceivedHeaders() after initiating an OBEX get operation returns null although the server side explicitly sends a header by calling the Operation.sendHeaders() method. This known issue has been verified by Nokia Developer.

How to reproduce

1. Implement two MIDlets, a client and a server, for an OBEX test, by using the following code snippets:

   Client side:

    
     // [...]
     LocalDevice localDevice = LocalDevice.getLocalDevice();
     DiscoveryAgent discoveryAgent = localDevice.getDiscoveryAgent();
    
     // Locate device
     // [...]
    
     // Search service
     // [...]
    
     // Connect to server
     conn = (ClientSession) Connector.open(serverURL);	
     conn.connect(null);
    
     HeaderSet reqHeader = conn.createHeaderSet();
     reqHeader.setHeader(HeaderSet.TYPE, "myType");
    
     Operation operation = conn.get(reqHeader);
    
     HeaderSet rspHeader = operation.getReceivedHeaders();
    
     if (rspHeader == null) {
    
           // show notification if the returned HeaderSet value is null
     }
    
     // [...]

   Server side:

     // this method is part of a class that extends class ServerRequestHandler
    
     public int onGet(Operation pOperation) {
    
     try {
       HeaderSet reqHeader = pOperation.getReceivedHeaders();
    
       String type = (String) reqHeader.getHeader(HeaderSet.TYPE);
    
       ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(4096);
    
       // fill 'baos' depending on the content of 'type'
    
       HeaderSet rspHeader = createHeaderSet();
       rspHeader.setHeader(HeaderSet.LENGTH, new Long(target.size()));
       pOperation.sendHeaders(rspHeader);
    
       OutputStream os = pOperation.openOutputStream();
    
       os.write(baos.toByteArray());
    
       os.close();		
       pOperation.close();
    
       return ResponseCodes.OBEX_HTTP_OK;
     } 
     catch (IOException e) {
       return ResponseCodes.OBEX_HTTP_INTERNAL_ERROR;
     }
    }

2. After installing test MIDlets, launch the server and the client.
3. For the affected devices, the value that getReceivedHeaders() returns to the client will be null.

Solution

This issue has been fixed starting from S60 3rd Edition, FP2.
