How Not to Handle Streams

Let me tell you about what I did yesterday. I set out to write a little HTTP proxy server that would transfer large (> 1GB) files to and from Amazon S3, doing a tiny bit of processing on the beginning of the data as it came through. Sounds pretty simple, right? You're probably thinking that's just a matter of gluing some HTTP libraries to some S3 libraries. I thought so too.
