This is not true.
DeferredContentProvider (an AsyncContentProvider implementation) is
used by the ProxyServlet, and it applies backpressure correctly.

I don't understand this.
If you are talking in the context of a client sending data, then the
production of data, the rate limitation, and the notification of more
production are all things the application must do, not an
implementation of an http client.
Can you detail ?

I don't understand this.
Why is not DeferredContentProvider enough for this case ?

Can you detail how this setup work ?
It's not clear to me if you refer to the Jersey2 client or server, and
what has a HttpClient to do with all this ?
Thanks.
