Hi! The closest we have is MHD_create_response_from_fd[_from_offset], but that does NOT add the mime-type or look at content range or handle 30x/40x-errors.
One issue with mime-types is that you then need something like libmagic to determine the mime type, which adds a dependency that I would prefer not to be a mandatory part of MHD. Note that examples using libmagic to implement this are in src/examples/, so you have a starting point. With respect to content-range, you should be aware of https://httpd.apache.org/security/CVE-2011-3192.txt before trying to implement it. If you decide to implement such a 'generic' handler, I'd be happy to add it to the examples, especially if you document it well and provide a demo. Due to the high potential for bugs (see CVE), additional dependencies and the endless list of things one may choose to handle (cache control headers!), I don't quite see a "full-featured" file-based handler for MHD in the near future. However, if a quality implementation were to be written, I might consider adding it as an optional feature. For examples, my threshold for inclusion is a bit lower. ;-). Happy hacking!
