I want to continue working on it and have a few questions.

- Is it still needed?

Yes.

- What should be changed?

https://github.com/davewood/catalyst-traitfor-controller-sendfile/blob/master/lib/Catalyst/TraitFor/Controller/Sendfile.pm #L92

https://github.com/davewood/catalyst-traitfor-controller-sendfile/blob/master/lib/Catalyst/TraitFor/Controller/Sendfile.pm #L99

This totally won't work any more (in 5.9) I'm afraid.

- any input regarding missing tests?

Erm, IIRC your code is relying on / assuming that you're doing a sendfile on something that actually exists on the local (i.e. the web server's) local disk.

This often isn't the case. (For example nginx's X-Accel-Redirect redirects to another path served by the web server, rather than a file on local disk).

I think this is possible currently, but it's not documented / tested that the file could be entirely synthetic (and not correspond to a real file on the file system).

Cheers
