The current Upload implementation is fine for basic work, but it's quite "closed"-- not giving the developer any flexibility in carrying out the task. Specifically:you expand on how RequestContext is failing you?
* The MultipartDecoder does the stream decoding "up-front" in the constructor, rather than lazily. I understand that this makes sense for the majority of cases. But I have "special needs" :) The decoding performed by the MultipartDecoder is actually quite processing intensive, as it scans the entire InputStream byte-by-byte so that it can find the boundaries. Even over a not so fast network connection I find that the upload process is bound not by the network but by the decoding. It slows down large uploads quite a lot. I would like the option to do the decoding myself, after the upload has completed, so that I can give the user some feedback that the file has been received and that "processing" (i.e. decoding) has begun. This also gives me an opportunity to optimize the decoding process in the case where the problem is favorably constrained, for instance there is only 1 Part. In that case I can scan for the end boundary not from the head but from the tail.
* The upload implementation sends the upload stream to a temporary file, over which I have no control, and then offers me a InputStream. In order to get the file to where I want it, I now have to copy the file from it's temporary location. What I need to be able to do is specify to the upload implementation where to send the upload stream in the first place, so that I can avoid extra copying.

Sorry, no, there isn't a convienient way. There should be, I guess. Could
you expand on how RequestContext is failing you?
