Write multiple files to outputstream without closing the stream

[Kalyan Enganti <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi
I am using Http-Core on android .I would like to give the users an option to download multiple files/folders simultaneously.Currently I am able to provide individual files as downloads, and folders as zip content.I am using sockets based http server modelled on the ElementalHttpServer example on the HttpComponents site.I would like to know if there is any way to do this in my voidhandle() method ,using any of the entities without closing the outputstream. Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards
Kalyan

Indeed, MIME multipart messages would probably the most natural choice.
Have a look at Apache Mime4j. It should give you both MIME parser and
MIME writer needed to be able to generate MIME messages on the client
side and parse them on the server side.

MIME multipart response? Googling suggests browser support for such a thing
is hit or miss:
