stream support isn't really streaming...

[fusionfoto]

It appears, that when wants to access a large (>5GB) object via stream...

$objectContent = $file->getContent();
$objectContent->rewind();
echo (stream_get_contents ($objectContent ->getStream(), 500000,0));

The entire file is pulled from the object store and written to /tmp before streaming can begin... so we are basically just opening a local file as a stream. Since Swift already supports offset calling, this request (seek, read to offset, etc) could actually be done by an autonomic call directly to swift. I'm not sure the library is adding any value here.

Has anyone else flagged this behavior and is this the way its "supposed" to be?

thanks in advance!
