Handling large binary data transfers

See original GitHub issue

For example, you might have an HTTP endpoint for uploading images. Typically, this would be handled with a multipart/form-data request. What would be the best way to handle this with an OpenRPC API?

Hey @BelfordZ, I had similar thoughts. Here are my ideas in another issue: https://github.com/kbaseIncubator/jsonrpcbase/issues/20

In the issue, I mention leaning towards the CBOR/BSON way, because it keeps the transport agnosticism. But I’m still not crazy about it because I think it’d be pretty tricky to stream only one nested param to a file without loading the whole payload into memory.

I feel like the multi-part way would be easier to stream the binary data to a file, without the surrounding json structure, and that seems important. But it would be HTTP-specific.

I do realize this is not the responsibility of the Open-RPC layer, but is more of a tangential problem. Feel free to close if you’d like.
