[Twisted-Python] Streaming HTTP

> What do people think of this approach?

It sounds fine to me.

I think this issue in Twisted is currently the blocker (or at least
*one of* the blockers) for Tahoe-LAFS ticket #113, #320, and #1032. It
is also a blocker for the much more ambitious Tahoe-LAFS tickets #1288
and #1851.
