Test case to show a bug with Crate blob calls

Crate bug

Filed crate/crate#7185

Description of the problem

What is happening is this:

  1. a call to a crate blob that doesn't exist returns a 404
  2. the next call, no matter to what returns the same 404 response
  3. the next call returns whatever was the response in #2
  4. the next call returns whatever was in the response in #3 and so on

From that point on any call that hits the same IP address is one response behind.

And if you get another 404, the calls become 2 behind as seen in testSeveralCallsAfterMultiple404.

Clients

The test case in this repo shows the error with HttpClient 4.5.5. The bug also happens with OkHttp client, see square/okhttp#3964. I tested the py-crate client and it did not show the bug. It appears at least Go has this issue too, see herenow/go-crate#25

Demonstration

The error has been demonstrated with BlobTest. Simply running

mvn clean test

in this repo will show 3 failures.

In my research, I came across crate/crate#3128 whose fix may have exposed this bug.

I copied BaseTest from crate-java-testing and found that useful. There are some notes in there about what I changed.
