Hi Mikkel, As Lars pointed out, the HttpUrlConnection was improved on this front in JDK 5: 1) Fixed Streaming mode when content length is known 2) Chunked Streaming mode when content length is not known
The current HTTP client connector even has a parameter called "chunkLength" that can be set, but it's not supported in beta 18 (lack of time): http://www.restlet.org/docs/ext/com/noelios/restlet/ext/net/HttpClient.html I've just checked in a patch to support the two modes cited above: - If your input representation has its 'size' property set, then the first mode is automatically used - If not, and if the 'chunkedLength' parameter is set with a value of 0 (default JDK's size used) or above (custom size used), then the chunked streaming mode is used - If not, then the input is buffered to determine its length as in beta 18. If you could get the latest from SVN and give it a try before beta 19 release that would be cool.
