1 | sendfile(1) |
| 2 | =========== | |

| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | sendfile - Static file handler for ashd(7) | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 | -------- | |
| 10 | *sendfile* [*-c* 'CONTENT-TYPE'] 'METHOD' 'URL' 'REST' | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | ----------- | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | *sendfile* serves static files by sending them exactly as they are to | |
| 16 | clients. It needs to be called with the `X-Ash-File` header added to | |
| 17 | the request, as *dirplex*(1) does. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | *sendfile* is a transient handler, as defined in *ashd*(7), and the | |
| 20 | 'METHOD', 'URL' and 'REST' arguments will normally be added by the | |
| 21 | parent handler. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | If a MIME-type is not explicitly specified, *sendfile* uses | |
| 24 | *libmagic*(3) to determine the MIME-type automatically. If *sendfile* | |
| 25 | is compiled with support for filesystem attributes (see *attr*(5) if | |
| 26 | your system has support for such attributes), the attributes | |
| 27 | `user.ash-mime-type`, `user.mime-type`, `user.mime_type` or | |
| 28 | `user.Content-Type` will be checked, in that order, and if one is | |
| 29 | present on the file in question, its value will be used instead of | |
| 30 | using *libmagic*. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | *sendfile* also handles HTTP caching by supporting the `Last-Modified` | |
| 33 | and related headers. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | OPTIONS | |
| 36 | ------- | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | *-c* 'CONTENT-TYPE':: | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | Sends 'CONTENT-TYPE' as the file's MIME-type instead of trying | |
| 41 | to auto-detect the file type. | |
