Uploading file using Node to a stream without first writing to temp file disk?

Question

Is there a way to stream directly to a remote server or fileshare when handling Node.js file uploads? I'm using formidable and currently I am trying to enable this scenario, but it always ends up writing to a temp file on my server first, which in my mind is unnecessary if the ultimate destination is a remote server.

I also tried connect-form which is built on top of formidable, but didn't find any good documentation for onPart/handlePart, which I assume allows me to do this. Does anybody have a pointer to a good example which enables this scenario?

Turns out the Formidable team is working on making this scenario much easier with Node.js streams. When the issue is fixed this will become much easier.
