http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27366 GetMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream() .available() could return content-length ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-03-08 21:16 ------- > I do not think we should violate standard Java API even in such a > subtle manner. The purpose of InputStream#available() method is > different and we should not get too creative about Java API. I agree that the available() method is not documented to mean "length of stream", however even Java's own ProgressMonitorInputStream uses it this way. Gosling wrote that class, and in it he sets size = available(). If available() only returns the amount of data currently buffered, the ProgressMonitor does nothing useful. I guess it would have been nice if the InputStream base class had a "length()" method as well. Anyway, I can implement the behavior by writing an extension class, so no need for you to violate the API in HttpClient. Feel free to close this enhancement request, and thanks for your consideration. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
