httpd follows symlinks for me. I just tried making a text file a.txt
in /var/www/htdocs, and making a symlink with ln -s b.txt a.txt,
and http://localhost/b.txt gets the content of a.txt.

Keep in mind httpd by default runs chrooted to /var/www, so if you
want to use absolute paths you will need to leave out /var/www. For
example if you want c.txt to be a a symlink pointing to
/var/www/htdocs/a.txt you could run

        ln -s /htdocs/a.txt symlink_file_name.txt
