How do I write to an OutputStream using DefaultHttpClient?

Question

How do I get an OutputStream using org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient?

I\'m looking to write a long string to an output stream.

This worked well on android. It should also work for large files, as no buffering is needed.

PipedOutputStream out = new PipedOutputStream();
PipedInputStream in = new PipedInputStream();
out.connect(in);
new Thread() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        //create your http request
        InputStreamEntity entity = new InputStreamEntity(in, -1);
        request.setEntity(entity);
        client.execute(request,...);
        //When this line is reached your data is actually written
    }
}.start();
//do whatever you like with your outputstream.
out.write("Hallo".getBytes());
out.flush();
//close your streams
