FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_112"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.112-b15, mixed mode)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
URLConnection() doesn't handle unknown status codes in the informational range (100-199).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run test code.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Infomational response should be consumed and skipped.

See "MUST" level requirement in <https://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc7231.html#rfc.section.6.2.p.2> (and the obsoleted spec: <https://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2616.html#rfc.section.10.1.p.2&gt;)
ACTUAL -
Informational message is treated as final response; consequently, the final message is returned as payload.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
