FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0_60"

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux localhost 3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 2 20:28:38 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When the fixedContentLength is set with HttpURLConnection.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(),
sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getOutputStream() is about 6 times slower than the jdk7u25 with fixedLengthStreamingMode is enabled. I checked several jdk7 version , this is introduced since jdk7u40.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u25

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1 connection.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(length);
2. connection.getOutputstream()
3. compare the getOutputStream with jdk7u60 , jdk7u40 and jdk7u25


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
jdk7u60 can get same performance with jdk7u25 to getOutputStream with fixedLengthStreamingMode enabled.
ACTUAL -
jdk7u60 is much slower than jdk7u25 to getOutputStream from HttpURLConnection.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
