Beschreibung

As per the gitter discussion with @ktoso, it could be probably worth mentioning in the docs that EntityStreamingSupport is only needed to complete a route with a stream of "discrete elements" like for example json arrays or csv entries, while a low level byte stream could be simply sent back to the client doing something like:

complete(HttpEntity(contentType, byteStringSource))
