Guthur <gut...@hotmail.com> added the comment: But it must be somewhere, you don't make a seperate request to the server for the body, you just make the single HTTP request and the server serves that request.
Also this is surely aimed at developers, we can make the decision whether or not it is too large, and simply to, by making a HEAD request and checking the content-length header, and if its not available then don't continue with the request if we chose to take that action. The point is that with out a body its not a HTTP response. Admittedly some sort of streaming to file facility might be needed for the large requests, and that may require a significant effort to add. Even if this can not be changed I think it should be clearly stated in the documentation that the request body needs to be explicitly read; I was trying to access it after making my request but of course it wasn't available, but the headers were and all status pointed to the request being served, which was rather confusing.
