Instead of HttpRequest having

what about having two methods:

   void setBody(Iterable<ByteBuffer>  buffers) // presumed restartable
   void setBody(Iterator<ByteBuffer>  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,

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.
