There are all sorts of tricks being used to wrap the InputStreams from the server. I believe they are buffered, although you'd be hard pressed to "get at" the buffering stream, since I believe it is done at a low level inside of HttpClient.
In my query to the commons-httpclient list, I was more careful with my language. It's the use of a non-buffered java.io class versus a BufferedInputStream (for example) that interests me and not the buffering done by HttpClient code for itself.
So you're able to use the latest webdavclient lib from CVS with HttpClient beta1/2 with no modifications? Or are the modifications to get these to work together in your submitted patch?
See my email from 6/25/2003, here in the archives at:

It is perfectly possible to use the current CVS webdav client with the latest HttpClient. There were some legacy limitations that my patch addresses. If you grab the latest code for both, it should be roughly compatible with your existing code. Once you've fixed up your code to match the latest, I think you'll find the API cleaner, the compatibility excellent, and the performance radically improved.
You can apply my patch if any of the issues addressed in the patch concern you. In fact, if you do apply the patch and it works for you, I'm sure that positive feedback to that effect would probably encourage the committers on the list, who may not have the time to test patches themselves, but need some recognition that the patch works before committing it.
Ok, will give it a whirl.
Of course it would be great if the similar or redundant code could be revised and merged as appropriate. Of course, since the two projects in question are both open source, the opportunity lies with whomever will tackle the problem. I've not had time. Perhaps you do?
If I did I would try to help much more, as these libraries are very useful to my project and probably to a future efforts.
