title: will very large http content-length hurt performance especially for mobile environment
body: <p>We have a legacy http client application running on mobile.
  It uses http "get" method to download 40M file from a tomcat server, and it does not use chunked encoding.
  It is found that using very large content-length would increase the performance in desktop testing, few "get" requests.
  Would very large content-length also increase the performance in real world device testing.
  Would it be matter that the very large http payload goes through many proxies ?</p>
