X-Sendfile Header

Server NGINX
1

All,

Does nginx support the concept of the X-Sendfile header described here:

http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoSendFilesFast

???

My problem is that I’m sending a file to an iphone with rails
(send_file) but I guess mongrel doesn’t support byte-range requests.
But I know nginx does…

Thanks,
Alex

nginx supports more general concept - X-Accel-Redirect:
