The receiver does. I'll clarify this in the docco after my API
changes. The receiver has three choices:

1) close the stream without reading
2) close the stream after reading *some* of the content
3) close the stream after reading *all* the content

Drivers should generally use a lazy-load technique in case of (1).
They may not require disk access, resource consumption, etc, if the
receiver choose to immediately close the stream.

Example: the checksum already exists in the pristine store, so the
receiver can immediately close the stream [rather than spooling the
contents into the store].
