java.io.EOFException: \n not found, while reading from BufferedReader

Question

I am trying to read rss feed but getting below error when tried to read from BufferedReader.

Error stack trace [screenshot]

Following is the method which is reading and converting rss feed

private String downloadXML(String urlPath){
        StringBuilder xml = new StringBuilder();
        try {
            URL url = new URL(urlPath);
            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
            Log.d(TAG, "downloadXML: The response code was " + responseCode);
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));

            int charRead;
            char [] bufferRead = new char[500];
            while (true){
                charRead = reader.read(bufferRead);

                if(charRead<0){
                    break;
                }
                if(charRead>0){
                    xml.append(String.copyValueOf(bufferRead, 0, charRead));
                }
            }
            reader.close();

            return xml.toString();
        }
        catch (MalformedURLException e){
            Log.e(TAG, "downloadXML: Invalid URL " + e.getMessage() );
        }
        catch (IOException e){
            Log.e(TAG, "downloadXML: IO exception " + e.getMessage() );
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (SecurityException e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "downloadXML: SecurityEception " + e.getMessage() );
        }
        return null;
    }

Line 62 is charRead = reader.read(bufferRead); Any help will be much appreciated.

Our project encountered this similar problem. And our solution is to add a configuration for http header. addHeader("Connection", "close")
