title: Java UrlConnection HTTP 1.0
body: <p>I am trying to download a file from my Java application. But because UrlConnection uses HTTP 1.1 protocol i get a Tranfer Encoding: chunked response in which case i can not find out file size(content-length is not set). From what i could find HTTP version is hard coded in the class and there is no way to change it. Is it somehow possible to change the version back to one or tell the server not to use chunked encoding when sending a file?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I am not trying to retrive dynamic content my application is a download manager.
  files i am downloading are static. Other downloaders i checked wget,igetter,curl use Http 1.0 and they get the size info from most servers. But my application and firefox issuing Http 1.1 always gets chunked encoding. I understand that content-length is not always present but i would like to get it most of time.</p>
