Httpunit tests fail against EAP 6 for custom error response codes

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We use httpunit to run test cases against JBoss. All test cases worked against EAP 5, but with EAP 6, the test client fails if a test involves a response with a custom error response code (some untypical HTTP response 400 or greater):
Server returned HTTP response code: 453 for URL: http://localhost:8080/helloworld/453.jsp
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 453 for URL: http://localhost:8080/helloworld/453.jsp
