[Beast] streaming a large compressed file
Hi, I'm trying to download a compressed .7z file with boost.beast. The file is about 9GB in size, so what I'd like to do is stream the response in to boost.iostreams to allow decompression. Is there any examples of interfacing boost.beast with boost.iostreams in this sort of streaming context? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Sean.

Not iostreams, but this example in the documentation shows how to read the body one buffer at a time: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_74_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/more_example... Note: I'm not very happy with how this interface turned out, it has some blemishes which will require breaking changes to fix. It can still be made to work though. Regards
