Need a generic API for reading and writing resource contents

Description

Need a generic API for reading and writing resource contents so that we can, for example, copy one DAV resource to another without having to know anything about the underlying implementation.

We have such a mechanism for properties, but not for the resource content.

The API (at least the read side) may be appropriate for non-DAV resources.

GET could (should?) be implemented on top of the read API.

I'm sure there are good reasons IConsumer/IProducer is insufficient. Could you include them on this ticket? They may help inform the design of a superior replacement.

Well, having never claimed that IConsumer/IProducer is insufficient (or heard of them); no, I can't.  Perhaps you could, since you are sure that there are good reasons.

My goal in this ticket is to add methods to DAVResource, which are presently lacking, which provide a read/write API.  I'll look at IConsumer/IProducer and see if they fit (or why they don't).

I'm not really seeing how IProducer and IConsumer will help me here. IStream is more in line with what web2 does, and probably fits well.
