Description

Issue by drewhk Thursday Dec 17, 2015 at 12:08 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/19218

What is needed is roughly:

val uploadSink = Flow[ByteString].lift.map(<put Source in HttpRequest>).via(http).to(Sink.ignore)

Where lift is the magic that makes Source[T] to Source[Source[T]].

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the Akka Streams API to implement a 'lift' operation that transforms a Source of T into a Source of Source[T], then integrate it with the HTTP request sink.
