Invoke-RestMethod fails on very large files
See original GitHub issueIt seems Invoke-RestMethod fails to download very large files, probably due to not enough memory.
Steps to reproduce
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri http://speedtest.tele2.net/10GB.zip -OutFile /Users/ffeldhaus/Downloads/10GB.zip
Expected behavior
Very large files should be downloaded without issues.
Actual behavior
PS /Users/ffeldhaus/development> Invoke-RestMethod -Uri http://speedtest.tele2.net/10GB.zip -OutFile /Users/ffeldhaus/Downloads/10GB.zip
Invoke-RestMethod : Stream was too long.

@daxian-dbw Thanks for remainder! It seems BufferingStreamReader class has an issue. Also I discovered that Ctrl-C doesn’t work in Invoke-RestMethod for the large file download scenario. So I pulled a PR to resolve both issues.
