1288	support streaming uploads in uploader	davidsarah		"#320 is about supporting streaming uploads in the HTTP web-API.

In the case of the SFTP frontend, there is no problem with getting at the upload stream, unlike HTTP (see ticket:320#comment:21). So we could implement streaming upload immediately for SFTP at least in some cases (see #1041 for details), if the uploader itself supported it.

This ticket is about streaming support in the uploader itself. It looks like the current {{{IUploadable}}} interface isn't really suited to streaming (for example it has a {{{get_size}}} method, and it pulls the data when a ""push"" approach would be more appropriate), so there is some design work to do that is independent of HTTP.
