Description

see: httpcomponents-core/H2RequestContent.java at master · apache/httpcomponents-core (github.com)

 

there 3 things are set, but not the content length.

(if protocol would be < 2 then super.process() would be called which would set it)

 

i know http/2 mode setting the content length is optional.  But some servers seems to really want it. And i think as long as the content-length is known upfront it shouldn't harm to set it right?
