Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] readfile() memory usage
From: simonsimcity@googlemail.com (Simon Schick)

Hi, Everyone

FYI: If you just want to check something before serving a file to the
client, you can also use something called xsendfile.

Apache: https://tn123.org/mod_xsendfile/
lighttpd: It's build in :)
nginx: http://wiki.nginx.org/XSendfile

Idea:
Do what you're doing in your php-script and add the header
"X-Sendfile: $yourFile" (nginx is using another header).
This header will trigger the plugin and the webserver will serve the
file instead of your php-process.

I personally use it on my webserver and it works quite fine. Debian
has a compiled package called libapache2-mod-xsendfile in version 0.9

Bye
Simon
