Code Review 6672144: HttpURLConnection.getInputStream sends POST request after failed chunked send

[Chris Hegarty]

Michael,

When we're in streaming mode (chunked or fixed length) the HTTP client 
implementation does not buffer the output data (this is the intention of 
streaming mode). Since we don't know the users data then we cannot 
silently retry in the event of an error when reading the response headers.
