Hi guys!
Swazoo has output and input streaming support since 2008 in version 2.2
and since then serve reliably (at least on VisualWorks) files like Word
and Excel attachments in production.
There were some reports about incomlete file downloads on Squeak/Pharo
Swazoo, which I'll probably encounter soon because current project I'm
working in is on Pharo.
With Göran as he already said we had a nice competition to further
optimize our streamng support and resulting improvements are included in
latest 2.3 beta, which is, well, still beta but anyway used in
production. Beta status has still because WebSocket support is not yet
finished (upgraded to a final WebSocket standard).
Streaming means that you don't read a whole file into memory first, but
stream directly from a file to a TCP socket for output streaming, or
vice versa for input one (file upload).
More in next email...
Best regards
Janko
