org.apache.http.entity

Representations for HTTP message entities. An entity is the optional content of a message. You'll find a basic selection of entity implementations here. If you need to send an entity, you can provide it for example as a byte array, string, file, or through an arbitrary input stream. If you receive a message with an entity, you typically get that as a basic entity. Entity implementations can be wrapped, for example to buffer the content in memory.
