> When building a multipart request that consists of at least one body where the contentLength is -1 in AbstractMultipartForm#getTotalLength -1 is returned, resulting in a missing Content-Length header in the request. This behaviour is correct. 
> But in some cases you know the contentLength of a body part even though it might be streamed. 
> To implement this I subclassed org.apache.http.entity.mime.content.InputStreamBody 
> 	public class ContentLengthInputStreamBody extends InputStreamBody {
> 		private final long contentLength;
> 		
> 		public ContentLengthInputStreamBody(InputStream in, ContentType contentType, String filename, long contentLength ) {
> 			super(in, contentType, filename);
> 			this.contentLength = contentLength;
> 		}
> 		@Override
> 		public long getContentLength() {
> 			return this.contentLength;
> 		}
> 		
> 	}
> I also needed to do this because a foreign HTTP Server, which is not under my control, refused to handle my request when the Content-Length header was not set.
> This might not be a common issue nor is it hard to solve, but you might think of adding this functionality to InputStreamBody itself.
