Support large bodies (esp. JSON) #1

Support bodies larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE size.

The current implementation uses Strings at some places to move the body around. As https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1179983/how-many-characters-can-a-java-string-have outlines, there's a hard limit (besides available memory) for String length.

Thus, we need to eliminate all instantiations and work as lazy as possible.
