java.i.o.Exception End of stream error while on citrix secure hub as MDX

I saw this question asked so many times but mine is with different case. Please dont mark it as duplicate.
Following is my client for retrofit. Which works perfectly fine when we're using apk. But as soon as we convert it to MDX for citrix/secure hub we are facing this end of stream error.
I have also tried this with volley but am getting same error. As you can see that I have tried all the interceptor and all for retrofit.
Already tried following interceptor.
addHeader("Connection", "close")
retryOnConnectionFailure(true)
So my question is what is happening exactly? Why is it working in apk and not on MDX.
public static Retrofit getClient() {
//Basic Auth
String authToken = null;
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(AppConfig.username) &&
!TextUtils.isEmpty(AppConfig.password)) {
authToken = Credentials.basic((String) AppConfig.username, (String) AppConfig.password);
}
//Create a new Interceptor.
final String finalAuthToken = authToken;
Interceptor headerAuthorizationInterceptor = new Interceptor() {
#Override
public okhttp3.Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
okhttp3.Request request = chain.request();
Headers headers = request.headers().newBuilder()
// .add("Authorization", finalAuthToken)
.add("Connection", "close").build();
request = request.newBuilder().headers(headers).build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
};
//TO be added in milliseconds
List < Protocol > protos = new ArrayList < > ();
protos.add(Protocol.HTTP_2);
protos.add(Protocol.HTTP_1_1);
HttpLoggingInterceptor interceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
interceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.addInterceptor(interceptor)
.protocols(protos)
.retryOnConnectionFailure(true) //FIRST TRY : Added this line after getting Unexpected end of stream error.
.connectTimeout(180, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.readTimeout(180, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.writeTimeout(180, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
//.addInterceptor(new GzipRequestInterceptor())
// THIRD TRY : Added this new interceptor for end of stream error
/*.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
#NonNull
#Override

Request request = chain.request().newBuilder()

//.addHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip")
.build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
})*/
//.addInterceptor(headerAuthorizationInterceptor) // SECOND TRY : Added this line after getting Unexpected end of stream error. fot connection close

Android Retrofit Interceptor add body param for all calls

Is there any way to edit the body of a network call for adding a default attribute used in the 95% of the calls?
I've seen that a query parameter is pretty easy to add (link)
But, I have not seen it for a Body.
My problem is that I'm working with an old API that asks me to send in each request the token. So I need to add this line in most of the classes.
#SerializedName("token") val token: String
Any ideas?

You should use httpInterceptor to solve this problem if you send in header
final OkHttpClient.Builder httpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
httpClient.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
#Override
public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request request = chain.request()
.newBuilder()
// add token key on request header
// key will be using access token
.addHeader("token", yourToken)
.build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
});
retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(BASE_URL)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.client(httpClient.build())
.build();
Edit : Im sorry, I've realized now you ask about sending in body.
I think it can be possible with old way(without Gson, Moshi etc). It is really more annoying than adding to every request.

Retrofit OKHTTP Offline caching not working

I read dozens of tutorial and Stackoverflow answers to my problem but nothing is working for me! Also, most of them are old so probably OKHTTP changed somehow.
All I want is to enable offline caching for Retrofit.
I am using GET
I tried using only offlineCacheInterceptor as an Interceptor, but I kept getting:
Unable to resolve host "jsonplaceholder.typicode.com": No address associated with hostname
I tried using a combination of offlineCacheInterceptoras an Interceptor + provideCacheInterceptor() as a NetworkInterceptor, but I kept getting:
504 Unsatisfiable Request (only-if-cached) and a null response.body()
I even made sure to add .removeHeader("Pragma") everywhere!
I tried all these Links:

Can Retrofit with OKHttp use cache data when offline (TOO confusing!)
Here's my code:
public static Retrofit getRetrofitInstance(Context context) {
if (retrofit == null) {
c = context;
int cacheSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MB
Cache cache = new Cache(context.getCacheDir(), cacheSize);
OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.addInterceptor(provideHttpLoggingInterceptor())
.addInterceptor(offlineCacheInterceptor)
.addNetworkInterceptor(provideCacheInterceptor())
.cache(cache)
.build();
//////////////////////////
retrofit = new retrofit2.Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(BASE_URL)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.client(okHttpClient)
.build();
}
return retrofit;
}
public static Interceptor offlineCacheInterceptor = new Interceptor() {
#Override
public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request request = chain.request();
Log.e("bbbb", "bbbb");
if (!checkInternetAvailability()) {
Log.e("aaaaa", "aaaaaa");
CacheControl cacheControl = new CacheControl.Builder()
.maxStale(30, TimeUnit.DAYS)
.build();
request = request.newBuilder()
.cacheControl(cacheControl)
.removeHeader("Pragma")
.build();
}
return chain.proceed(request);
}
};
public static Interceptor provideCacheInterceptor() {
return new Interceptor() {
#Override
public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
Response response = chain.proceed(chain.request());
// re-write response header to force use of cache
CacheControl cacheControl = new CacheControl.Builder()
.maxAge(2, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
.build();
return response.newBuilder()
.header(CACHE_CONTROL, cacheControl.toString())
.removeHeader("Pragma")
.build();
}
};
}

June 2021 (Retrofit 2.9.0 or OKHTTP 3.14.9) Complete Solution (Update)
Same approach is still working since: Oct. 2018
Oct. 2018 (Retrofit 2.4 or OKHTTP 3.11) Complete Solution
Ok, so Online & Offline caching using OKHTTP or Retrofit has been causing so many problems for many people on stackoverflow and other forums. There are tons of misleading information and non-working code samples all over the internet.
So, today I will explain how you can implement online & offline caching using Retrofit & OKHTTP with clear steps + How to test and know whether you are getting the data from cache or network.
If you are getting a 504 Unsatisfiable Request (only-if-cached) OR an Unable to resolve host "HOST": No address associated with hostnamethen you can use any of the following solutions.
Before you begin, you must always remember to:
Make sure you are using a GET request and not a POST!
Always make sure you add .removeHeader("Pragma") as shown below (This lets you override the server's caching protocol)
Avoid using the HttpLoggingInterceptor while testing, it can cause some confusion in the beginning. Enable it in the end if you want.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS delete your app from the device and reinstall it again upon every change in code, if you want to explore using Interceptors. Otherwise changing code while the old cache data is still on the device will cause you lots of confusion and misleading deductions!
The order of adding Interceptors to OKHTTPClient object matters!
N.B: If you want to depend on your server's caching protocol for online and offline caching, then don't read the 2 solutions. Just read this article. All you need is to create a cache object and attache it to OKHTTPClient object.
Solution 1: (Longer, but you have full control)
Step 1: (Create onlineInterceptor)
static Interceptor onlineInterceptor = new Interceptor() {
#Override
public okhttp3.Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
okhttp3.Response response = chain.proceed(chain.request());
int maxAge = 60; // read from cache for 60 seconds even if there is internet connection
return response.newBuilder()
.header("Cache-Control", "public, max-age=" + maxAge)
.removeHeader("Pragma")
.build();
}
};
Step 2: (Create Offline Interceptor) (Only if you want cache access when offline)
static Interceptor offlineInterceptor= new Interceptor() {
#Override
public okhttp3.Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request request = chain.request();
if (!isInternetAvailable()) {
int maxStale = 60 * 60 * 24 * 30; // Offline cache available for 30 days
request = request.newBuilder()
.header("Cache-Control", "public, only-if-cached, max-stale=" + maxStale)
.removeHeader("Pragma")
.build();
}
return chain.proceed(request);
}
};
Step 3: (Create a cache object)
int cacheSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MB
Cache cache = new Cache(context.getCacheDir(), cacheSize);
Step 4: (Add interceptors and cache to an OKHTTPClient object)
OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
// .addInterceptor(provideHttpLoggingInterceptor()) // For HTTP request & Response data logging
.addInterceptor(OFFLINE_INTERCEPTOR)
.addNetworkInterceptor(ONLINE_INTERCEPTOR)
.cache(cache)
.build();
Step 5:(If you are using Retrofit, add the OKHTTPClient object to it)
retrofit = new retrofit2.Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(BASE_URL)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.client(okHttpClient)
.build();
DONE!
Solution 2: (Just use a library to do all that for you! But deal with the limitations)
Use OkCacheControl library
Step 1 (Create Cache object as shown above)
Step 2 (Create an OKHTTPClient object)
OkHttpClient okHttpClient = OkCacheControl.on(new OkHttpClient.Builder())
.overrideServerCachePolicy(1, MINUTES)
.forceCacheWhenOffline(networkMonitor)
.apply() // return to the OkHttpClient.Builder instance
//.addInterceptor(provideHttpLoggingInterceptor())
.cache(cache)
.build();
Step 3:(Attach the OKHTTPClient object to Retrofit as shown above)
Step 4: (Create a NetworkMonitor Object)
static OkCacheControl.NetworkMonitor networkMonitor=new
OkCacheControl.NetworkMonitor() {
#Override
public boolean isOnline() {
return isInternetAvailable();
}
};
DONE!
Testing:
In order to know whether your device is getting data from the network or from cache, simply add the following code to your onResponse method of Retrofit.
public void onResponse(Call<List<RetroPhoto>> call, Response<List<RetroPhoto>> response) {
if (response.raw().cacheResponse() != null) {
Log.e("Network", "response came from cache");
}
if (response.raw().networkResponse() != null) {
Log.e("Network", "response came from server");
}
}
If the device is using the Network, you will get "response came from server".
If device is using Cache, you will get both of the above responses! For more info about this read this article.

Web-service call from android app takes 10 mins to reflect the latest results

Am Struggling with one of the issues of being service taking almost 10 mins to reflect the updated results. Actually, am using an API of type Get, the structure of the service is like this:
www.abc.net/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?categories=192&page=1&per_page=2
When I try to call the service from the browser it's showing the updated information, but when I try to call the same service from my android app using retrofit it's delaying the updated response by almost 10 mins.
Here is the code mentioned in my last question about the same :
public class ApiClient {
private static Retrofit retrofit = null;
public static Retrofit getClient() {
HttpLoggingInterceptor interceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
interceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
OkHttpClient.Builder httpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
httpClient.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
#Override
public Response intercept(Interceptor.Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request original = chain.request();
// Request customization: add request headers
Request.Builder requestBuilder = original.newBuilder()
.cacheControl(CacheControl.FORCE_NETWORK)
.addHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache")
.addHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");
Request request = requestBuilder.build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
});
OkHttpClient client = httpClient.build();
retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(ApiInterface.SERVICE_ENDPOINT)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.client(client)
.build();
return retrofit;
}
}
My API Interface
public interface ApiInterface {
String SERVICE_ENDPOINT = "https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/";
#GET("posts")
Call<ArrayList<CategoryResponse>> fetchlatestposts(#Query("bloglist")
int bloglist);
}
What can be the issue for not getting the updates response in real time, while as after 10-15 mins of pause it will give the updated results.

The issue was from the server side, WordPress has cache enabled which was causing the issue.

Retrofit 2 caching - chain of interceptors

I need to implement basic caching of API responses. I've made a little playground project that calls GitHub API and caching was successful (I've used Charles to verify that). However when I transferred this solution to my target project caching didn't work anymore. Could multiple interceptors in the chain be the reason?
Code from playground project (working):
Interceptor (same for target project):
public class CacheControlInterceptor implements Interceptor {
#Override
public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
Response response = chain.proceed(chain.request());
return response.newBuilder()
.header("Cache-Control", "only-if-cached")
.build();
}
}
Cache and client declaration:
long SIZE_OF_CACHE = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MB
final Cache cache = new Cache(new File(getCacheDir(), "retrofit_cache"), SIZE_OF_CACHE);
OkHttpClient.Builder client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().cache(cache);
client.networkInterceptors().add(new CacheControlInterceptor());
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("https://api.github.com/users/")
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.client(client.build())
.build();
Screen from debugging of CacheControlInterceptor:
screen
Code from target project (NOT working):
Cache and client declaration:
private OkHttpClient provideOkHttpClient() {
HttpLoggingInterceptor loggingInterceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
loggingInterceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
OkHttpClient.Builder okhttpClientBuilder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
okhttpClientBuilder.connectTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
okhttpClientBuilder.readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
okhttpClientBuilder.writeTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
okhttpClientBuilder.addInterceptor(loggingInterceptor);
okhttpClientBuilder.addInterceptor(new JwtRenewInterceptor(getUserSession()));
okhttpClientBuilder.addInterceptor(new AutoLoginInterceptor(getUserSession()));
okhttpClientBuilder.addNetworkInterceptor(new CacheControlInterceptor());
long SIZE_OF_CACHE = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MB
final Cache cache = new Cache(new File(getCacheDir(), "retrofit_cache"), SIZE_OF_CACHE);
okhttpClientBuilder.cache(cache);
return okhttpClientBuilder.build();
}
Screen from debugging of CacheControlInterceptor: screen

If you want apply some headers to all requests using OkHttp cache you should use Application interceptor, not network interceptor. Otherwise, you are not giving cache mechanism a chance to return cached responses.
It's nicely illustrated on OkHttp wiki
So most probably what is happening in your code is that you let Cache to store responses but you never use them since requests going to Cache are missing only-if-cached header.
Try
okhttpClientBuilder.addInterceptor(new CacheControlInterceptor());

Actually the mistake was caused by my poor reasoning about http headers. I thought that method addHeader or header will simply add key Cache-Control and then value only-if-cached. However it adds only value! And since in my target project's API there was no header key Cache-Control (unlike in GitHub API) there was no place for value only-if-cached to be stored.
