### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.
The feature request is related to the limitations and problems encountered when uploading large files using Blazor WebAssembly and the InputFile component. Due to the constraints of the underlying browser implementation and the fetch API, uploading large files can lead to memory issues and permission errors.
To work around these limitations, developers often need to implement custom JavaScript solutions that handle chunking of the file during the upload process. This can be challenging and time-consuming, and it would be beneficial if the InputFile component could automatically handle chunking when uploading files.
By adding built-in support for chunking in the InputFile component, it would make it easier for developers to work with large files and improve the overall experience of handling file uploads in Blazor WebAssembly applications. This feature would also help to mitigate the limitations imposed by the current browser implementation and the fetch API, making file uploads more efficient and reliable.
### Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the Blazor InputFile component to automatically handle chunking of files during the upload process. The solution should seamlessly integrate with the existing component API. This enhancement would allow developers to upload large files without encountering memory limitations or permission issues caused by the browser or the fetch API.
### Additional context
Although some may initially view enabling chunking in the InputFile component as outside the scope, I believe that there are numerous benefits to doing so that make it a fitting addition. This is particularly relevant for Blazor developers, who typically value efficient and reliable development without having to rely on custom JavaScript solutions. I am fairly new to the Javascript side of things myself but I have been working on an upload as many of my sites require it. I have created a poc that was able to successfully bypass the limit. I would be happy to provide it if needed but because its not a modified version of the InputFile component I won't put it here initially.
