Hi Prashant,

I have a small HTTP(s) server library that allows to send large data via
streaming, one of its functions is:

/**
 * Sends a stream to the client.
 * \param[in] res Response handle.
 * \param[in] size Size of the stream.
 * \param[in] block_size Preferred block size for stream loading.
 * \param[in] read_cb Callback to read data from stream handle.
 * \param[in] handle Stream handle.
 * \param[in] free_cb Callback to free the stream handle.
 * \param[in] status HTTP status code.
 * \retval 0 - Success.
 * \retval EINVAL - Invalid argument.
 * \retval EALREADY - Operation already in progress.
 * \note Use `size = 0` if the stream size is unknown.
 * \warning It exits the application if called when no memory space is
available.
 */
SG_EXTERN int sg_httpres_sendstream(struct sg_httpres *res, uint64_t size,
size_t block_size, sg_read_cb read_cb,
                                    void *handle, sg_free_cb free_cb,
unsigned int status);

But it seems you are looking for something under "Connection: Upgrade",
like websocket. If so, take a look at the following library:

https://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd

This feature was announced here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libmicrohttpd/2016-09/msg00002.html

Both libraries uses libcURL in their examples.

Cheers
