           Summary: The InputStreamRequestEntity doesnt make sense for
                    chunked streams
           Product: HttpClient
           Version: 3.0 RC4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Commons HttpClient
        AssignedTo: httpclient-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: boris.tabenkin@matrixone.com


I just began looking at converting some code that used HttpClient 2.0 to using 3.0.

I ran into the following issue:

When creating InputStreamRequestEntity:
    httppost.setRequestBody(new
InputStreamRequestEntity(pipedIn,PostMethod.CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED));

The PostMethod.CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED is deprecated. You can do a
HttpPost.setChunked(true), but doing so will cause the InputStreamRequestEntity
to calculate the size using a buffered stream, which, in my case, would be a
disaster since I am using this code to upload a large file.

BTW, there should be a HttpPost.getOutputStream() method. I am using the
InputStream with a PipedOutputStream and spinning a background thread to manage
the pipes.
