Sorry, my bad. The length is fixed, but not known in advance. The length is
calculated once the stream encounters two newlines at the end of the HTTP
message. This means the parser cannot ask the stream how much data it
contains, because there might be more data on the way. That is why the
stream gets help from the PostInputStream. If the parser asks if there is
any more data available, the PostInputStream will check if the amount of
data that has been read is less than what the Content-length header
specified...
You should read the second example on the StreamGenerator-page (the one with
the Telnet scenario). This is a more accurate depiction of what the
StreamGenerator does, the first example is not a "real" StreamGenerator
use-case...
The StreamGenerator is useful in cases where the client does not know how
much data will be generated in advance (that is: when it cannot generate a
Content-length-header).
