Rather than modify the old WOAdaptor, an alternative option is to write a 
WOAdaptor. ERWOAdaptor is already there, and it's based on netty. Personally, I 
consider that a better way forward, but right now, it is also limited in file 
size because it uses the chunked decoder.  

I believe it could be updated to support large file sizes, but 1) I haven't had 
the time to try and 2) I haven't had the problem :-)  I was more interested in 
making websockets work when I was working on it last year.  I recently updated 
the websocket implementation to support the latest spec. I didn't have any luck 
finding a large file upload example while I was doing it, so it's still limited 
to 100Mb uploads.
