Truncated body in get request

When performing a get request:
SyncHttpClientRequest getRequest = SyncHttpClient.getUrl(uri);
getRequest.headers.add('cookie', _cookie);
SyncHttpClientResponse getResponse = getRequest.close();

The contents of the returned body gets truncated to around 700 characters.

After checking that the actual amount of returned characters is correct, I modified the socket.readSync(1024); sentence to increase the number of bytes being read.... witch sorted out the problem.

I can provide more details on request.
