You can't. What you can do is the reverse: you provide an InputStream from which the HttpClient will read the bytes which will be sent to the server. See class InputStreamRequestEntity: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/methods/InputStreamRequestEntity.html HttpClient will take care of chunk encoding. hope that helps, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
