* There are three distinct types of entities in HttpCore,
* depending on where their {@link #getContent content} originates:
*
* - streamed: The content is received from a stream, or
* generated on the fly. In particular, this category includes
* entities being received from a {@link HttpConnection connection}.
* {@link #isStreaming Streamed} entities are generally not
* {@link #isRepeatable repeatable}.
*
* - self-contained: The content is in memory or obtained by
* means that are independent from a connection or other entity.
* Self-contained entities are generally {@link #isRepeatable repeatable}.
*
* - wrapping: The content is obtained from another entity.
*
*
* This distinction is important for connection management with incoming
* entities. For entities that are created by an application and only sent
* using the HTTP components framework, the difference between streamed
* and self-contained is of little importance. In that case, it is suggested
* to consider non-repeatable entities as streamed, and those that are
* repeatable (without a huge effort) as self-contained.
