  Description     : Serve large static files efficiently from web applications

mod_xsendfile is a small Apache2 module that processes X-SENDFILE
headers registered by the original output handler.

If it encounters the presence of such header it will discard all output
and send the file specified by that header instead using Apache
internals including all optimizations like caching-headers and sendfile
or mmap if configured.

It is useful for processing script-output of e.g. php, perl or any cgi.
