Hi, I upload a large file (>4GB in chunks) in a single http connection and by opening the output stream just once. To do this I've used HttpClient 3.1 API and have done this.
1. Extended the RequestEntity to create a chunked entity class that has the getContentLength(), getContentType() etc methods. 2. Extended the EntityEnclosingMethod to create a PostMethod like class "ChunkedPostMethod". And in its constructor called the setRequestEntity() method passing the chunked entity class as parameter. 3. In the "ChunkedPostMethod", in the writeRequestBody(HttpState state, HttpConnection conn) I get the handle of OutputStream using conn.getRequestOutputStream(), and in the readResponseBody(HttpState state, HttpConnection conn) I get the handle of InputStream using conn.getResponseInputStream(). I use this "ChunkedPostMethod" to connect to the Http server. These input stream and output stream handles I maintain until all the chunks are transfered using these. All this I've achieved with HttpClient3.1. But I'm not able to convert this code to HttpComponents Client 4.1 as the equivalent of EntityEnclosingMethod in httpclient4.0 is HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase but that does not provide any method (like writeRequestBody and readResponseBody) that provides the after-connection outputstream and inputstream handles. First of all is there any way of getting the outputstream from the http connection in httpclient4.0? If yes then how?
