Named Streams

[LianwMS]

WCF DataServices enables attaching streams to entities by marking them with
HasStreamAttribute and implementing IDataServiceStreamProvider. There is
currently no equivalent support in WebApi.

Adding support would enable a NuGet compatible data source to be implemented
in WebApi, where today it is not possible to provide the src attribute on the
content element (see http://nuget.org/api/v2/Packages/?$top=1
for an example).

OData formatter extensibility has made this scenario very simple.

Is there an example somewhere or some documentation on how I can use OData formatter extensibility to accomplish this?

The spec should be posted to
