title: Up-/Download of big files via REST
body: <p>Simple question: I want to upload/download large files around via REST. What is the best practice to do that? Are there any chunk-patterns, do I use multipart on the transport layer, what do you recommend?</p>
  
  <p>Use case: we have an API where you can upload payments (e.g. 500mb) and download large account statement files. I am aware that other protocols exist to do that but how is it done with REST?</p>
