Comment (by sivel):

 Add pseudo streaming to file with the HTTP Extension.  This saves us
 nothing on the memory allocation when using the HTTP Extension but at
 least gives us the same functionality that the other transports have.
 This came from a conversation with Nacin at WordCamp Miami.

 If it hasn't been done in another patch, we need to move the HTTP
 Extension as the last one in priority.  No reason to keep it at the front
 since it is the least tested and now supports less functionality.
