Unfortunately, the ZipFile.read() reads the entire content. One
of the main reasons to zip things is that they're big -- possibly
too big to fit conveniently in memory. I don't know about the
OP's use-case, so .read() might suffice if the resulting content
is small enough. In my case[1], it was a zip containing multiple
>700MB MS-Access .mdb files that I needed to stream to temporary
disk storage and using .read() killed my dev machine.
