[web-devel] Content-Length on sendFile

[Greg Weber]

Hi Kazu,

I apologize for the confusing terminology. I am not differentiating between
sending a static file with sendfile and a streaming response. I
am differentiating between 2 different use cases for sending static files
(with sendfile). For all of my web applications, I know what all the static
files are and they will never change until I deploy another web application.
That means I can stat the files once when the application is deployed and
keep that information in memory. So I already have the file length
information to include in the header, even though I don't do a file stat
when the file is requested. wai-app-static and yesod-static supports these
techniques.

I hope that is clearer.

Thanks,
Greg
