feature request | streaming implementation

I have a server that will be receiving up to 50MB files. I’d like to avoid buffering this request for obvious reasons 😃

example API:

aReadableStream
  .pipe(admZip.parseStream)
  .on('entry', function (entry) {
    var fileName = entry.path;
    var type = entry.type; // 'Directory' or 'File'
    var size = entry.size;
    if (type == 'File' && fileName === 'target.png') {
      // capture the data for this one entry
      entry.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('path/to/target.png'));
    } else {
      entry.discard();
    }
  });

For anyone looking for streamable zipping and unzipping, yazl and yauzl have my recommendations!

Yazl (Zipping): https://www.npmjs.com/package/yazl Yauzl (Unzipping): https://www.npmjs.com/package/yauzl

Very clean and stable API.

Currently, yazl supports creating archive from streams.
