Hello Oleg,
thanks for your responses. I kind of went the custom implementation way.
Overwrote the "writeTo" method of BasicHttpEntity to first write the
MimeMessage headers and then the content.
BasicHttpEntity basicHttpEntity = new BasicHttpEntity() {
// non-javadoc, see interface HttpEntity
public void writeTo(final OutputStream outstream) throws
IOException {
if (outstream == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Output stream may not
be null");
}
/***** custom code start */
// Else, the content is untouched, so we can just output it
// First, write out the header
Enumeration hdrLines;
try {
hdrLines = msg.getNonMatchingHeaderLines(null);
} catch (MessagingException e) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(e);
}
LineOutputStream los = new LineOutputStream(outstream);
while (hdrLines.hasMoreElements())
los.writeln((String)hdrLines.nextElement());
// The CRLF separator between header and content
los.writeln();
// Finally, the content.
/***** custom code end */
InputStream instream = getContent();
int l;
byte[] tmp = new byte[2048];
while ((l = instream.read(tmp)) != -1) {
outstream.write(tmp, 0, l);
}
}
};
basicHttpEntity.setContent(msg.getRawInputStream());
request.setEntity(basicHttpEntity);
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Manjiri
