Does your answer imply that the servlet getReader() method returns the
content in chunked format? Ie. the servlet engine does not interpret or
aggregate the chunks ? The servlet API is very unclear in this area, I just
want to make sure that my thread reading the socket can read the exact
number of content bytes and not block unnecesarily AND that this is standard
across all servlet compliant engines.

 Thanks for your help!
   Bill.

To make things easier use something like the Jakarta commons projects
FileUpload API in your servlet to parse the request:

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/


Hope that helps,

If a client sends content (via a POST) using chunked transfer-coding,
how is the content retreived via a servlet? Does the user need to be
concerned with getting the inputstream and handling the content directly
in chunked format since the length may not be known at processing time?
I.e. the content-legnth may be set to -1...
