      warn "this is not supported by all WebDAV servers"
      io = mg.new_file('key', :largefile => :stream)

If your WebDAV servers have chunked PUT support (e.g. Perlbal), you can stream a file of unknown length using "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".

nf = mg.new_file("key", :largefile => :stream)
nf.write "hello"
nf.write ...
nf.close

If your WebDAV server has partial PUT support (e.g Apache), you can you can use multiple PUT requests with "Content-Range" support. This method is slower than Transfer-Encoding: chunked.

nf = mg.new_file("key", :largefile => :content_range)
nf.write "hello"
nf.write ...
nf.close

Finally, if your WebDAV servers does not support either partial nor nor chunked PUTs, you must buffer a large file of unknown length using a Tempfile:

nf = mg.new_file("key", :largefile => :tempfile)
nf.write "hello"
nf.write ...
nf.close
