Something similar to SAX InputSource would be quite handy I think. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/org/xml/sax/InputSource.html
However, I'd wait with this feature until 4.0 Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Ortwin Glück [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 10:47 To: Commons HttpClient Project Subject: [RFE] provide request entities in a more abstract way Providing only an InputStream as a request body is not enough. We can not automatically repeat such a request since we are unable to reset the input stream without buffering it. I suggest we introduce an abstraction for the source of request entities such as: interface RequestEntity { /** * Provides an input stream of the request entity. The method may be called * more than once and must provide a virgin stream upon each call. */ InputStream getAsStream(); } We can then provide convenience classes that implement this interface, such as: * class StringRequestEntity implements RequestEntity * class FileRequestEntity implements RequestEntity etc. What does everybody think about this?
