Creating RequestBody from an InputStream

See original GitHub issue

I was looking at RequestBody.java and I can’t find an overload for create() like this:

RequestBody.create(MediaType contentType, InputStream stream)'

Is there a reason not to implement this? This is pretty useful when piping from one stream into an upload job. The overload accepting a File is useful for files but that’s not the only scenario where buffering in memory does not work.

Please shed some lights if I’m missing something. Thanks!

Handling files on Android is not nice at all, so we need to use content:// URIs. We can get a streams from them, or File Descriptors, but not a file.
