No, I'm not building my own iTunes. :)
My hope, if the Spring devs smile upon this contribution, is that this might 
make it into Spring itself, since it is just an optional extension to the 
standard HttpInvoker that is already bundled with Spring.  I'm guessing that 
if I put it in springmodules sandbox it would then remain in springmodules?  
Of course, one could always download the source and unit tests from the JIRA 
issue if they just wanted to play around with it. ;)

As a side note, we needed this in order to support managing large documents 
from our client.  We wanted a very simple solution (from the developer's 
perspective), and to us, that meant just adding another method to our already 
existing service interface that took an InputStream as parameter, and another 
that returned an InputStream (for downloading).  We need the streaming 
support as these documents will typically be larger than available RAM.
