Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and has been able to 
resolve it:

In one page of our web app, users have the ability to download files. We are 
having an issue when the user attempts to download a large file (> 500MB - 
zip), where the app throws an Out of Memory error. The download functionality 
is coded by:

1.       Converting the file to FileInputStream and then to NSData

2.       appending the file to the WOResponse.

a.  response.appendContentData(fileNSData)

This approach is described here : 
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/WebObjects/Web_Applications/Development/Examples/Return_a_File

We also tried using the following approach (also described in link above):

1.       Using ByteArrayInputStream

?  response.setContentStream(byteIn, 4096, length);

In both cases, the user receives a 0KB file.

Does anyone have any recommended approaches to serve a large file through the 
application?  Please note the file lives on the application server but for 
security purposes we wouldn't want it directly accessible.

Thanks,
