If you're using the inetlib HTTP stream handler, be advised that it 
buffers the entity in the HTTP response entirely in memory before 
making it available to you as an input stream. Thereafter, there will 
be no network latency on reads from the input stream.
This is because the chunked transfer-coding introduced in HTTP/1.1 
permits response headers after the entity; however, most users of the 
URLConnection class will assume that all response headers are present 
as soon as the connect method has completed, as specified in the 
documentation.
Where performance is important, or you are dealing with very large 
entities that will not fit in available memory, you will probably want 
to use the underlying HTTPConnection class and provide your own 
callbacks to optimise network behaviour under various circumstances.
