[jetty-discuss] HTTP PUT and chunked transfer

[Andreas H. <and...@de...>]

Hello,

I'd like to transmit large amounts of data (hundreds of MB) via HTTP PUT.
Since the data is too large to keep in memory, I need to commit to disk
once in a while.

Chunked transfer in HTTP 1.1 should help to solve this problem.  However,
I haven't managed to find information on how chunked transfer works in
conjunction with HTTP PUT using servlets.

Is the servlet container making chunked transfer transparent or
can I check inside a servlet when a chunk of data has been received?

How can I receive chunks of data inside a servlet using Jetty?

Cheers!
Andreas.
