But why would it strip the frame header ? It should simply pass the frame
header and stream the data.

The server should proceed exactly as it would proceed if receiving a large
POST. All file transfer applications which support large POSTs (webmails
etc...) don't buffer everything, they pass it as a stream. Do you imagine
if the server had to buffer a DVD image or something like this before passing
it to the application ?

I don't see the difference with frames. You can call the application saying
"hey, here come 5 GB of data, please read them from this connection handle".

Willy
