>You should take a look at mod_xsendfile (assuming you're using apache). https://tn123.org/mod_xsendfile/ You can then let apache take care of actually sending the file. All you have to do is send a response-header like this: X-Sendfile: /path/to/the/file The module will intercept this header and send the file. -- If you want to report a vulnerability issue on symfony, please send it to security at symfony-project.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
