Hi
I have a http server send streaming content to clients.
I don't know the size of the content because it keep increasing, like a
file being written by another thread or streaming content from web.
The server supposes to keep sending until the file in finished or web
content reach ends.
I wrote a customer HttpEnity, but I don't know how should I return
Content-Length header.
Should I return a fake number or omit this header?
You should return -1 (See
http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-ga/httpcore/apidocs/org/apache/http/HttpEntity.html#getContentLength())
Also refer to
http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-ga/tutorial/html/fundamentals.html#d4e84
for details on streaming entities
Hope this helps
