 *  \brief An object which streams the data from a std::istream.
 *
 * This class can be useful base for implementing resources which streams
 * the data from std::istream derivatives.
 *
 * The utility method handleRequestPiecewise() makes use of continuations
 * to transmit data piecewise, without blocking a thread or requiring the
 * whole data to be read in memory. The size of the buffer can be changed
 * by using setBufferSize().
 *
 * \if cpp
 * Example for a custom stream resource implementation:
 * \code
