Sending data through stream

[Java Prog <ja...@gmail.com>]

Dear all,
I would like to ask if it is possible to send Multipart request (using
post method - described in the documentation), but to supply
InputStream to the ByteArrayPartSource?

I would like to send data and avoid creating temp file, since data is
read from different source,
and available through InputStream.
In docs for HttpClient ByteArrayPartSource it says that this class
should be used only for data already loaded in memory (I would like to
minimize usage of the memory).

Is this possible at all and is there some example how to do this.

Regards,
JP

No, it is not possible to supply an input stream to the 
ByteArrayPartSource.

Then you should implement your own PartSource.
See FilePartSource for an example.

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/methods/multipart/FilePartSource.html

hope that helps,
