I didn't have tested it, but it should work. (You have to set optRawInput,
as always when you use the <> operator, or write < > instead).
The reason why the docs use the read function is, that you may run into
memory problems when you often upload big files, because everything is
loaded into memory, while the example in the docs, only read 32K at a time.
