I never allow PHP to be [ab]used and kept open to spoonfeed clients
with fopen/readfile/etc.
in nginx:
header("X-Accel-Redirect: /uri/path/to/file")
in lighttpd (if I recall)
header("X-Sendfile: /full/path/to/file") or now header("X-Sendfile2:
/full/path/to/file byterange")
in apache there is a "mod_sendfile" module I think. never used it.
be sure to set appropriate other headers too. nginx will fill in the
content-length for you, but you need to fill in content-type i believe
still. things like that.
