Adds a new `ofFileChannel(FileChannel channel, long offset, long length)` method to `java.net.HttpRequest.BodyPublishers` to provide an `HttpClient` publisher to upload a certain region of a file. The new publisher does not modify the state of the passed `FileChannel`, streams the file channel bytes as it publishes (i.e., avoids reading the entire file into the memory), and can be leveraged to implement sliced uploads. As noted in the Javadoc:
> The file channel will not be closed upon completion. The caller is > expected to manage the life cycle of the channel, and close it > appropriately when not needed anymore. ### Implementation notes - `FileChannel` is preferred over `{Readable,Seekable}ByteChannel`, since the latter does not provide a positional read without modifying the state of the `FileChannel`, which is necessary to use a single `FileChannel` instance to implement sliced uploads. - `ofFileChannel(FileChannel,long,long)` is preferred over `ofPath(Path,long,long)` to avoid overloading the maximum file descriptor limit of the platform. ------------- Commit messages: - Add `HttpRequest.BodyPublishers::ofFileChannel` along with tests Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26155/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=26155&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8329829 Stats: 836 lines in 4 files changed: 831 ins; 2 del; 3 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26155.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/26155/head:pull/26155 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26155
