RequestEntity.getContentLength ?
Hello,
I'm implementing this interface to write an indeterminate amount of bytes
to the server during an HTTP Post. Everything seems to be working ok,
however I just have one question. The JavaDoc API for this interface says
that getContentLength returns
"either a number >= 0 or EntityEnclosingMethod.CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED"
So I think, ok I need to return
EntityEnclosingMethod.CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED.
However, the JavaDoc API for EntityEnclosingMethod says that
CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED is deprecated and to use
setContentChunked(true) instead. I'm doing this already on the
PostMethod. What should I return in my implementation of
RequestEntity.getContentLength ? (Right now "0" seems to work ok)

Robert,
Unfortunately I am unable to give any definitive clarifications
regarding the correct use of RequestEntity#getContentLength at this
point. I'll have to carefully review the code, which is quite complex.
The EntityEnclosingMethod method contains A LOT of awful code necessary
to maintain backward compatibility with 2.0.x API. I spotted a few
things that did not quite like and need a little more time to sort
things out properly. I'll keep everyone posted on the outcome.

Oleg,
Thank you for the clarification. I'll use -1 instead of
EntityEnclosingMethod.CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED
for now. I just hate to see deprecation warnings in the code if
it can be helped :)

Hi Robert,
Javadocs are indeed inconsistent. I'll review the code and make sure
that the javadocs correctly reflect the implementation
Thanks for pointing out the problem
Oleg
RequestEntity.getContentLength should return a non-negative number if
the content length is known and a negative when it is not. In the latter
case HttpClient will have to buffer
