The getInputStream and getOutputStream methods can return 'null' ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ELY-1746 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-1746 Project: WildFly Elytron Issue Type: Task Components: HTTP Reporter: Darran Lofthouse Assignee: Darran Lofthouse Priority: Major Fix For: 1.8.0.CR2, 1.8.0.Final A small javadoc enhancement to say these can return 'null' to indicate the streams are not supported. As many headers can operate on streams only it makes sense the streams may not be mandatory.
