There's no reason why sending the whole file implies reading the whole
file into memory at one time.  You can just read your desired chunk
size and send it, then read the next chunk, and so on.  You might have
to first find the total size to calculate what to set Content-Length
to.

ISTR questions of this nature have been asked in the past on this list.
