A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Connected to bug: JDK-7157360

I am still seeing this error with the latest java version in eclipse.

I am making a delete call with a request entity..

Step 1:
webResource.uri(new URI("developer_authnauth_token")).header("some token")
.header("key", "value").header("key", "value").header("key", "value").header("Environment", "staging").header("Content-Type", MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
        
        
Step 2: webResource.delete(ClientResponse.class, "Input");

Below is the exception i see everytime:
