Dear Django Users,

tl;dr: Please tell me what strategies I might use to serve a large
static file from within Django, from views.py.

If I want to limit access to a particular page in a Django app, I can
do something like this in views.py:

(Note: I will use four periods to indent, because spaces or tabs might
not display properly.)

def private_page(request):
....if special_permissions_checking_function(request.user):
........return render_to_response('private_page_template.html')
....else:
........return render_to_response('access_denied.html')

What if I want to limit access to a large static file, instead of a
dynamically generated HTML template?

Ideally the resulting website will be fast, but I also want to hear
options that might be low performance.

Thank you,

Zak
