Answer 1

I have an similar error because I used CountingInputStreamEntity that is a non-repeteable http client. The solution was to use BufferedHttpEntity which converts the non-repeteable to repeteable httpclient.

ParcelFileDescriptor fileDescriptor = this.getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
            InputStream in = this.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

            CountingInputStreamEntity entity = new CountingInputStreamEntity(in, fileDescriptor.getStatSize());
            entity.setUploadListener(this);
            entity.setContentType("binary/octet-stream");
            entity.setChunked(true); 
        
            BufferedHttpEntity myEntity = null;
            try {
                myEntity = new BufferedHttpEntity(entity);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            
            put.setEntity(myEntity);
