When you say you want to read the response, that means you are reading body in the response.

Using EntityUtils and HttpEntity

HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
String responseString = EntityUtils.toString(entity, "UTF-8");
System.out.println(responseString);

Using BasicResponseHandler

String responseString = new
BasicResponseHandler().handleResponse(response);
System.out.println(responseString);
