<body class='hmmessage'>The general rule is that asynch stream processing is desirable, synch read-to-eof and forward is not.<BR>
<BR>
All this 'synchrounously read until eof, then write the whole chunk' in every step along the way is probably causing severe and unpredictable lag in the system.<BR>
<BR>
Things are somewhat complicated by the fact that some constructs (like the REST handler, I believe) actually returns a string, which is fucked. It should be up to the handler to decide what content type it will return, and consequently, how it will be written to the response stream.<BR>
<BR>
Also, if we're going to upload other things than text, then the REST handler is probably just a StreamHandler, possibly subclassed into an XmlHandler, AssetHandler, et c perhaps? I know there's a Binary handler in there somewhere.<BR>
<BR>
Once we had good momentum in changing this, then we got sidetracked, as always. :D<BR>
