Work with Streaming Data

- For such request, receiving of any chunk of data causes its processing.
- Streaming request can be stopped using the Stop Request operator.

To convert a request to streaming, click the Convert To Streaming option on the right-click menu of request.
You can convert the streaming back to request using the Convert To Request option on the right-click menu.
