Remarks

This method is used to enable streaming of a HTTP request body without internal buffering, when the content length is <b>not</b> known in advance. In this mode, chunked transfer encoding is used to send the request body. Note, not all HTTP servers support this mode.

When output streaming is enabled, authentication and redirection cannot be handled automatically. A HttpRetryException will be thrown when reading the response if authentication or redirection are required. This exception can be queried for the details of the error.

This method must be called before the URLConnection is connected.
