* Set the stream to be uploaded by this channel.

* content-type & content-length) information prepend to the stream (namely plugins)
* as well as clients (composer, uploading application) that want to upload data streams
* without any knowledgle of protocol specifications. For this reason, we have a special
* meaning for contentType. See below.
*
* @param stream
* Stream to be uploaded by this channel
* @param contentType
* If the contentType is nsnull, the protocol will assume that no content
* headers are to be added to the uploaded stream and that any required
* headers are already in the param |stream|. In HTTP's case, if you do
* specify a content header, the implemention should prepend this as a
* content-type header to the uploading stream. In FTP's case, this
* parameter is ignored.
* @param contentLength
* Use of -1 assumes that the data length is returned by the |stream|'s
* Available() method.
