Sure, just make sure to enable X-Sendfile in Apache/Nginx, and then set it
yourself:
def get
@headers['X-Sendfile'] = "/full/path/to/file"
@headers['Content-Type'] = "text/plain; charset=utf-8"
end
Or if you want Rack to figure out which Content-Type to send:
file = "/full/path/to/file"
@headers['X-Sendfile'] = file
@headers['Content-Type'] = Rack::Mime.mime_type(File.extname(file)) + ";
charset=utf-8"
If you ever need to send custom headers, just use the @headers hash.
