Hi Jon, The concept of Representation transparently allows you to do this. You just have to set the Response's entity to a streamable representation, like an OuputRepresentation subclass (which will require you to override write(OutputStream)).
For an example, you can look at XmlRepresentation which is a subclass of OutputRepresentation.
