[mod_fastcgi] use http_response_xsendfile() (fixes #799, fixes #851, fixes #2017, fixes #2076)
handle X-Sendfile and X-LIGHTTPD-send-file w/ http_response_xsendfile() if host is configured ( "x-sendfile" = "enable" ) Note: X-Sendfile path is url-decoded for consistency, like X-Sendfile2 (response headers should be url-encoded to avoid tripping over chars allowed in filesystem but which might change response header parsing semantics) Note: deprecated: "allow-x-send-file"; use "x-sendfile" Note: deprecated: X-LIGHTTPD-send-file header; use X-Sendfile header Note: deprecated: X-Sendfile2 header; use X-Sendfile header For now, X-Sendfile2 is still handled internally by mod_fastcgi. Since http_response_send_file() supports HTTP Range requests, X-Sendfile2 is effectively obsolete. However, any code, e.g. PHP, currently using X-Sendfile2 is probably manually generating 206 Partial Content status and Range response headers. A future version of lighttpd might *remove* X-Sendfile2. Existing code should be converted to use X-Sendfile, which is easily done by removing all the special logic around using X-Sendfile2, since the 206 Partial Content status and Range response headers are handled in http_response_send_file(). x-ref: "mod_fastcgi + X-Sendfile -> mod_staticfile" https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/799 "Feature Request: New option "x-send-file-docroot"" https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/851 "X-Sendfile handoff to mod-static-file in 1.4.x" https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2017 "X-sendfile should be able to set content-type" https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2076
