             Summary: Clarify {{InputStreamEntity}} {{length}} constructor 
argument
                 Key: HTTPCORE-330
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-330
             Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation, HttpCore
    Affects Versions: 4.2.3
            Reporter: John McCarthy
            Priority: Minor


When creating an {{InputStreamEntity}}, content length may not be known.  
(Also, it may be desired to create an entity that will be read until fully 
consumed without specifying a content length.)  From what I see in the 
{{writeTo()}} method source, you may specify a number less than zero for the 
{{length}} parameter in the constructor if the length is not known.  Please 
clarify this in the javadoc.  Also, because is length is optional, perhaps 
corresponding constructors should be added that don't require this parameter.
