I'll definitely try that. Writing a small script to do the conversion is
not an issue, I'll just have to figure out how to configure the
webserver appropriately.

It's probably not actually streaming I need, just that the file transfer
starts before the conversion is finished. Not sure if there's anything
special I need to do to make sure it does, but I guess I'll find out
once everything else is in place...

Thanks,
