Instead of HttpRequest having

void setBody(Iterable buffers, boolean isRestartable) what about having two methods: void setBody(Iterable buffers) // presumed restartable void setBody(Iterator buffers) // clearly not restartable Not only does this avoid a potentially confusing boolean parameter, but it also avoids forcing people to create "dishonest" Iterables, where they know the iterator() method cannot be called more than once. - Ian Ian,

Thanks for the comment. I agree this is probably the way to do it. Having two separate methods gives scope to explain the difference clearly in the javadoc.
