Support streams for downloading envelopes #271

Open jchull opened 3 years ago

jchull commented 3 years ago

We would like to be able to transfer an envelope without storing the entire contents in memory, streams have been around for a while and provide this functionality. 

Why streams
Streams basically provide two major advantages compared to other data handling methods:

Memory efficiency: you don’t need to load large amounts of data in memory before you are able to process it

Time efficiency: it takes significantly less time to start processing data as soon as you have it, rather 
than having to wait with processing until the entire payload has been transmitted
