Http server in c# supporting chunked Transfer-Encoding

Question

I am looking for a way to create a HttpServer in C# that supports the chunked Transfer-Encoding for multipart-form posts. Reason is that I need to transfer large files (2-10GB) and the client application has to use the chunked transfer-encoding - else it runs out of memory when loading the file into memory. I have looked though the web and found quite a lot of examples that are using the System.Net.HttpListener class in .Net but I was not able to get that one to work with receiving data from a client that uses the chunked Transfer-Encoding.

Does anyone have an example of how to do that?

Any hint is greatly appreciated.

The docs seem to imply that setting the response.ContentLength64 property may result in chunked data. Some other fiddling might be necessary. Doc here — C. Gonzalez

after trying more I wound the solution: You only need to set

httpWebRequest.SendChunked = true;
httpWebRequest.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = !Chunked;

That made it work for me.
