Thanks for the quick response Hugi.
We tried using FileInputStream with setContentStream. It was also giving 0Kb
files as well.

Hi Leigh,
since the InputStream is called "byteIn" I'm guessing it's a
ByteArrayInputStream, meaning the data it contains has been loaded to memory.
If you have an actual file, you might consider using a FileInputStream instead.
Cheers,

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and has been able to
resolve it:
In one page of our web app, users have the ability to download files. We are
having an issue when the user attempts to download a large file (> 500MB -
zip), where the app throws an Out of Memory error. The download functionality
is coded by:
1. Converting the file to FileInputStream and then to NSData
2. appending the file to the WOResponse.
a. response.appendContentData(fileNSData)
This approach is described here :
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/WebObjects/Web_Applications/Development/Examples/Return_a_File
We also tried using the following approach (also described in link above):
1. Using ByteArrayInputStream
> response.setContentStream(byteIn, 4096, length);
In both cases, the user receives a 0KB file.
Does anyone have any recommended approaches to serve a large file through the
application? Please note the file lives on the application server but for
security purposes we wouldn’t want it directly accessible.
Thanks,
