Description

See autoChunk for a more detailed description of the parameters as this directive is basically the same with the added restriction to chunk only entities completely backed by files.

Example

val route =
  autoChunkFileBytes(5) {
    path("long")(complete("This is a long text"))
  }

Get("/long") ~> route ~> check {
  // don't chunk long request because it's not from a file
  responseAs[String] === "This is a long text"
}
