Hi, I have the following use case. The client is making an HTTP POST request and would like to use chunked transfer encoding to send chunks of binary data to the server as they are generated. In particular, the client would like to avoid accumulating the data in its entirety before sending it to the server but rather, as mentioned above, send it in chunks.
Having looked at NSMutableURLRequest and related classes, CFReadStreamCreateForStreamedHTTPRequest, and streams in general, I have concluded that there currently is no API that would support above use case out-of-the-box. The primary reason is that input/read stream implementations in both at Foundation and Core Foundation levels assume that the data in its entirety is available for read before read/input stream is created and the request is made. So, the solution to the problem seems to implement HTTP protocol from scratch using sockets and streams and handle described above chunk send semantics there. Before embarking on this interesting programming exercise, I am wondering if there is no simpler way of doing this that I may have missed. Please, let me know if it is so. Thanks!
