Then whatever it turns out to be, I’m right

Are there any tips for *retrieving* very large files with a worker? (To make them publicly accessible)
Currently getting an expected ```json
 "exceptions": [
    {
      "name": "TypeError",
      "message": "Memory limit would be exceeded before EOF.",
      "timestamp": 1651421012992
    }
  ],```and curious if theres anything that can be done to make it work better, because I remember with Workers in the past I was able to stream very large files from origin without issue

With streaming you should just be able to return the `await env.BINDING.get("key")` directly, I think.

I'll be honest I stole most of the code from James

James probably assumed it would be used for like 1mb images, not 1gb files.

`file = await env.R2_BUCKET.get(id);`
and then later ```js
        response = new Response(await file.arrayBuffer(), {
            headers: {
                'cache-control': 'public, max-age=604800',
                'content-type': file.httpMetadata?.contentType,
                'etag': file.httpEtag,
            },
        });
```

yeah and thats fair, im just asking what i should be doing in this situation

If you do an `arrayBuffer` it buffer it in memory.

In theory, you should be able to pass the `R2Object.body` directly to a `new Response()` since it's a readable stream, but that never actually worked for me. So in my code I do an inline `await R2Object.arrayBuffer()`, which will buffer it all.

Which will work for ~128MB, but anything beyond that will fail, yeah

^ Or less, Workers share memory if there's a couple invocations.

From what I've heard it can be as little as a few kb if it's under really heavy load.

using the body seems to work for me, at least on `wrangler dev` with wrangler1

```js
        response = new Response(file.body, {
            headers: {
                'cache-control': 'public, max-age=604800',
                'content-type': file.httpMetadata?.contentType,
                'etag': file.httpEtag,
            },
        });```

fascinating. That didn't work at all for me, at least on smaller files when I tested 🤔

just replaced the arraybuffer in the above which was taken from you

i can try publishing and see if it breaks there

Were you accidently awaiting? Or was that pretty much the exact code you were trying?

yeah lemme know if it works in prod and I can update my examples
