Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a large file (e.g. > 300 MB) with the Filestream.openAsync() method

Actual Results:
The entire file is read into memory. This makes working with large files very difficult (e.g. when making a ftp client etc...)

Expected Results:
The file should not be read into memory, but should be available as a stream (the way streams work in other most other programming languages).
