+    Indicates that the streaming blob MUST be finite and have a known
+    size when sending data from a client to a server.
 
-    In an HTTP-based protocol, for instance, this trait indicates that the
-    ``Content-Length`` header MUST be sent prior to a client or server
-    sending the payload of a message. This can be useful for services that
-    need to determine if a request will be accepted based on its size or
-    where to store data based on the size of the stream.
