Chunking

Now chunks are written to disk on initial request and then served from disk cache during new requests. Of course this takes for ever! I should instead write a queryResult that can retrieve only the wanted chunk.

Then I need to save info which allows me to make a new request. I will call it the chunkCache and I can save it in memory. Maybe with a limit. Up to 100 or so before it deletes them.

chunkCache:

1. resumptionToken
2. sql
3. chunkSize
4. chunkNo

$chunkSize should be constant so we don't even need it.

$chunkCache={
$resumptionToken=>{
sql=>$sql
chunkNo=>$chunkNo
}

xml declaration

I currently run into trouble harvesting since my harvester repeats the <xml ...> declarations inside the document.

1. Maybe I should make him, the harvester, just not do it.

2. But this problem raises the question whether or not the declaration should be saved in the db in the first place (in the native_md). I mean it has utf-8 info, but I know that I use utf-8. So maybe not.

3. Why does the data provider not show this when accessed thru browser, but the harvester has it? I think I will have to try some other http clients like lynx.
