This is actually Jersey 2 Issue tracker. For Jersey 1.x (https://github.com/jersey/jersey-1.x), there is currently no plan on a new release.

I got almost the same bug with this issue, using JerseyTest 1.x
A workaround of this issue with JerseyTest is to use 3rd party http client libs, and just use WebResource for getting the endpoint of APIs, i.e., (resource().path("foo/bar").getURI())
