WCF streaming with pipes and tees
Example/Playground application for forwarding data streams using WCF.
Components:
-
Stream sender: client that sends a stream of large data (a file of several MB's)
- file being sent is a .rar, .zip, .7zip, .tar archive containing multiple files
-
Stream forwarder: service that receives a stream and forwards it to the receiver
- create a pipe between forwarder and receiver + forward the incoming stream to the receiver via this pipe
- save incoming stream as .rar file on the filesystem of the forwarder
- create a pipe towards the filesystem of the forwarder + extract files from incoming .rar file on the filesystem of the forwarder < above actions are ASYNC >
-
Stream receiver: service that receives a stream from the forwarder < via pipe from forwarder >
- save incoming stream as .rar file on the filesystem of the receiver
- create a pipe towards the filesystem of the receiver + extract files from incoming .rar file on the filesystem of the receiver < above actions are ASYNC >
