Is there any way to send a non-chunked request without having the entire content in memory at once?

You can set the content length header yourself. In that case Drakma shouldn't use chunked encoding IIRC.

I'm working on an Amazon S3 client based on Drakma, but sometimes I want to upload (via PUT) very large files and I'd prefer to determine the content-length via FILE-LENGTH and upload the body buffer-by-buffer instead of all at once.

That should be no problem if you provide a function as the :content keyword argument or use the "continuation" facility.
