Description

We currently always pass -1 and used chunked encoding. This seems wasteful? Chunked encoding has overhead and we generally know the sizes. Seems like it would be preferable to set the entity size and trigger the Content-Size: header.

Issue Links

• is related to: SOLR-8669 Non binary responses use chunked encoding because we flush the outputstream early.
• relates to: SOLR-8451 We should not call method.abort in HttpSolrClient and HttpSolrCall#remoteQuery should not close streams.
