It is constructed by supplying the input stream and the content length. + !InputStreamEntity is a streamed, non-repeatable entity that obtains its content from an input stream. It is constructed by supplying the input stream and the content length. The content length is used to limit the amount of data read from the !InputStream. If the length matches the content length available on the input stream, then all data will be sent. Alternatively a negative content length will read all data from the input stream, which is the same as supplying the exact content length, so the length is most often used to limit the length. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
