Description

The current system does not allow for streaming DIME attachments because the size of the data is requested from the DataHandler first (this usually means reading the entire stream, then resetting it), and then a single DIME record is created.

The DIME specification allows for the use of record chunking so that dynamic content generators can stream back data with a small memory footprint.
