> In what case / scenario are file sizes not known by the source/client machine? At the risk of soundind trite, any time the source is not a raw disk file. A common example would be reading an HTTP POST or PUT request. But the file size will not be known prior to reading the file in many other scenarios, as well, such as reading from an archive or compressed file. It can happen when generating the file on the fly, such as when converting between formats, or creating a dump file. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
