`HTTP::Response::Body#each` and `BUFFER_SIZE`
Hello!
The readpartial
method, which each
uses allows to overwrite the size of the chunks (defaults to BUFFER_SIZE
). Would you accept a PR where the size
can also be passed to each
?
On a similar note: Right now, the BUFFER_SIZE
is configured to 16KB. I tried to figure out how this value came to be, since 16KB is not a lot, but was not really able to find an answer in the code. Is there any downside to increasing this value to e.g. 4 MB?
Background: We provide an API in one of our applications where we stream large files from a 3rd party API using your gem and ActionController::Live
. These files tend to be couple of gigabytes in size, so only sending 16 KB at a time results in many requests.
