Class AbstractInputStreamContent (1.42.3)

Serializes HTTP request content from an input stream into an output stream.

The #type field is required. Subclasses should implement the #getLength(), #getInputStream(), and #retrySupported() for their specific type of input stream. By default, all content is read from the input stream. If instead you want to limit the maximum amount of content read from the input stream, you may use ByteStreams#limit(InputStream, long).

Implementations don't need to be thread-safe.

Returns whether the input stream should be closed at the end of #writeTo. Default is true.

Return an input stream for the specific implementation type of AbstractInputStreamContent. If the specific implementation will return true for #retrySupported() this should be a factory function which will create a new InputStream from the source data whenever invoked.

Returns the content type or null for none.

Sets whether the input stream should be closed at the end of #writeTo. Default is true. Subclasses should override by calling super.

Sets the content type or null for none. Subclasses should override by calling super.

Writes the byte content to the given output stream.

Implementations must not close the output stream, and instead should flush the output stream. Some callers may assume that the output stream has not been closed, and will fail to work if it has been closed.
