Send large post param in Android

How do you send a large (>5MB) post parameter (among other post parameters) in Android?

I'm currently using org.apache.h开发者_如何学运维ttp.client.methods.HttpPost and a list of BasicNameValuePair to send the post params.

 HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
 HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(someURL);
 List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
 nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("param1", "value1"));
 nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("param2", hugeValue));
 httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
 httpclient.execute(httppost);

hugeValue is a very large string that I would like to read from an InputStream and send as I read it. How can I do this?

CommonsWare is right. HttpUrlConnection and writing direct into the outputstream will solve your memory problem. I've used it in my own application for uploading 10 and more mb of image data.
