Stream a video file over http with Spark Java

Question

I'm trying to stream a video file over rest, I'm trying to implement something similar to Jersey like this:

      ResponseBuilder builder = Response.ok(out.toByteArray());
      builder.header("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fields.get("filename"));
      response = builder.build();
    } else {
      response = Response.status(404).
          entity(" Unable to get file with ID: " + id).
          type("text/plain").
          build();
    }

    return response;
  }

Here is what I have for file upload and download/streaming (download semi-works, the file size is correct by corrupted):

I really need help with this everyone, thanks

UPDATE

changed:

ByteArrayOutputStream out =  new ByteArrayOutputStream();

to:

ServletOutputStream out = res.raw().getOutputStream();

UPDATE 2 Ok, I finally got it working, and the video plays in the browser, but now getting a Jetty io.EofException, I closed the stream but still, must be something simple.

Below are both the before and after:

and downloading the file from the browser works, but how can I stream it directly in the browser?

BEFORE(didn't work)

    //download a video/ trying to stream it right in the browser if possible
    get("/post/:id", (req, res ) -> {

            res.raw().setContentType("application/octet-stream");

            String id = req.params(":id");

            ObjectId objectId = new ObjectId(id);
            BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject();

            query.put("_id", objectId);
            //DBObject video = collection.findOne(query);

            GridFS gridfile = new GridFS(db, "videos");
            GridFSDBFile gridFSDBFile = gridfile.findOne(query);
            res.raw().setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + gridFSDBFile.getFilename());

            InputStream inputStream = gridFSDBFile.getInputStream();

             ServletOutputStream out = res.raw().getOutputStream();
            // ByteArrayOutputStream out =  new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            int data = inputStream.read();
            while (data >= 0) {
                out.write((char) data);
                data = inputStream.read();
            }
            out.flush();
            out.close();
            return out;
        });

AFTER (This works perfectly, but getting the end of file exception):

   get("/post/:id", (req, res ) -> {
            //what's the difference between these 2?
            res.raw().setContentType("video/mp4");
            res.type("video/mp4");

            String id = req.params(":id");

            ObjectId objectId = new ObjectId(id);
            BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject();

            query.put("_id", objectId);
            GridFS gridfile = new GridFS(db, "videos");
            GridFSDBFile gridFSDBFile = gridfile.findOne(query);

            res.raw().setContentLengthLong(gridFSDBFile.getLength());
            InputStream inputStream = gridFSDBFile.getInputStream();

            ServletOutputStream out = res.raw().getOutputStream();

            int data = inputStream.read();
            while (data >= 0) {
                gridFSDBFile.writeTo(out);
                data = inputStream.read();
            }

           // out.flush();
           out.close();

           return 200;

        });

Upload:

 post("/postvideo/:username", (req, res) -> {
            MultipartConfigElement multipartConfigElement =
                    new MultipartConfigElement("/tmp");
            req.raw().
                    setAttribute("org.eclipse.jetty.multipartConfig",
                            multipartConfigElement);
            String username = req.params(":username");
            double[] location =
                    new double[2];
            double lattitude =
                    Double.parseDouble(req.queryParams("lat"));
            double longitude =
                    Double.parseDouble(req.queryParams("lon"));
            location[0] = lattitude;
            location[1] = longitude;

            InputStream inputStream = req.raw().getPart("file").getInputStream();;

            Part uploadedFile = req.raw().getPart("file");
            // File file = new File(uploadedFile.getName());
            GridFS gridFS = new GridFS(db, "videos");

            GridFSInputFile gfsFile = gridFS.createFile(inputStream);

            gfsFile.put("location", location);
            gfsFile.put("username", username);
            gfsFile.put("contentType", req.raw().getContentType());
            gfsFile.put("filename", uploadedFile.getSubmittedFileName());
            collection.insert(gfsFile);

            gfsFile.save();
            return 201;
        });

Here is the method that works. I will be uploading a solution that let's you skip to sections of the video as well, piece of cake ;)

  get("/post/:id", (req, res ) -> {
        //what's the difference between these 2?
        res.raw().setContentType("video/mp4");
        res.type("video/mp4");

        String id = req.params(":id");

        ObjectId objectId = new ObjectId(id);
        BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject();

        query.put("_id", objectId);
        GridFS gridfile = new GridFS(db, "videos");
        GridFSDBFile gridFSDBFile = gridfile.findOne(query);

        res.raw().setContentLengthLong(gridFSDBFile.getLength());
        InputStream inputStream = gridFSDBFile.getInputStream();

        ServletOutputStream out = res.raw().getOutputStream();

        int data = inputStream.read();
        while (data >= 0) {
            gridFSDBFile.writeTo(out);
            data = inputStream.read();
        }

       // out.flush();
       out.close();

       return 200;

    });
