File Handling #194

Open benjchristensen opened 10 years ago

benjchristensen commented 10 years ago

We should add APIs for loading files using Netty so it is easy to create a file server.

There are at least two approaches needed:

1) the zero-copy file read/write 2) chunked reading for async handling

@benjchristensen is this a good starting point for what you want?

It seems to cover the chunked case in a reasonable way. I actually need this feature or something like it to be able to serve a full web app.

I issued a pull request to solve this in Karyon but will now try to implement in RxNetty instead. I still need to work on the zero-copy file read/write aspect of the solution.

Please see #211 for proposed solution
