Then we can pipe from local using curl!

Notes on Getting Streaming Data in Express

Express as of 3.0 has a pretty neat bodyParser middleware that will take care of normal posts, file uploads etc. However, it does not give streaming access to uploads AFAICT.

// multipart form upload will give us
req.files
// 

Write your own

req.on('data', function(chunk) { 
       data += chunk;
    });

Though you may need to selectively disable bodyParser - see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11295554/how-to-disable-express-bodyparser-for-file-uploads-node-js

Hmmm, seems handling streaming posts / files is not as trivial as I thought in node. Updated notes on what i've found in the issue description.
