Description

From investigation, this appears to be caused by a specific check in the code. I filed a bug because it's unclear why there is a 25 kb limit using `getContent`.

The non-async client consumes the Entity by calling `writeTo` which does not have this 25kb restriction.

See https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/blob/4.5.x/httpmime/src/main/java/org/apache/http/entity/mime/MultipartFormEntity.java#L102-L104
