Streaming RPC calls?

[Martin Jericho <ma...@jabcreative.com>]

I need to implement a web service that can send/receive large amounts of
data in a single call (maybe tens of MB).

Does RPC allow me easily to stream an incoming array so I don't have
everything sitting in memory?

Is this done by writing a custom serializer/deserializer?

Would it be easier outside of the RPC framework?

I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

well, MS say DIME, but not that many implementations outside (or inside) the
MS ones handle it; Soap With Attachements the alternative. Try sending a
20MB attachment and see what happens.
