Introduction to HTTP Multipart
You can technically add a Content-Length header for each part. It's not forbidden by the RFC, but nor is it common. It caused [problems](https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/2138) for OkHttp, and they eventually removed it. Might be fine for internal-only use, though.
Boundaries are a lot like UUIDs, and rely on the same logic. When generating random data, once you have enough bits, the odds are against that sequence of bits ever having been generated before in the universe.

Introducing Bld: A New Pure Java Build System
Lets be specific. This is the gradle build file for Squares okhttp client library. How exactly would your bld tool "predict" or "help" with all the parameters needed? There is no need to be defensive. Replace those large build files with your own, show where your approach is better and then understanding will lead to better solutions.

How to use Cronet Engine for API calls? Any simple repo for it to understand?
Use Retrofit or anything else that builds on OkHttp. If you do end up needing some features that Cronet supports but OkHttp doesn't (such as HTTP/3), just write an interceptor or use google/cronet-transport-for-okhttp.

IPv6 Support on Android
Even as of 2022, there are networks out there that have broken/misconfigured IPv6, and there most likely always will be. Some wireless carriers and ISPs support it, but in some cases, people have old or improperly-configured routers and devices. Patchy IPv6 support is less of a problem on iOS and the web these days since those clients have support for dynamically falling back on IPv4 when IPv6 fails. After more research, we realized that Android didn’t have this “dual-stack” IP support, and neither did our preferred networking library, OkHttp. This explained why the content-loading issues only surfaced on Android, and why it took some additional digging to uncover the root cause.
Working with the reddit infrastructure team, we did more testing and built high confidence that this last IPv6 theory was indeed the cause of users’ content-loading problems. We assessed our usage of OkHttp and checked if there were any upcoming plans to improve support. OkHttp did have an open ask for “Happy Eyeballs” #506, but no known plans to implement it. Out of due diligence, we also assessed other network libraries– but knew that moving off OkHttp would be a radical change, indeed. We read the RFC 8305, “Happy Eyeballs algorithm for dual-stack IPv4/IPv6”, and thought “wow, we don’t want to implement this ourselves.” And as we were studying that open OkHttp issue and thinking “If only they would…”
