handle X-Sendfile and X-LIGHTTPD-send-file w/ http_response_xsendfile()
if host is configured ( "x-sendfile" = "enable" )
Note: X-Sendfile path is url-decoded for consistency, like X-Sendfile2
(response headers should be url-encoded to avoid tripping over
chars allowed in filesystem but which might change response
header parsing semantics)
Note: deprecated: "allow-x-send-file"; use "x-sendfile"
Note: deprecated: X-LIGHTTPD-send-file header; use X-Sendfile header
Note: deprecated: X-Sendfile2 header; use X-Sendfile header
For now, X-Sendfile2 is still handled internally by mod_fastcgi.
Since http_response_send_file() supports HTTP Range requests,
X-Sendfile2 is effectively obsolete. However, any code, e.g. PHP,
currently using X-Sendfile2 is probably manually generating 206 Partial
Content status and Range response headers. A future version of lighttpd
might *remove* X-Sendfile2. Existing code should be converted to use
X-Sendfile, which is easily done by removing all the special logic
around using X-Sendfile2, since the 206 Partial Content status and Range
response headers are handled in http_response_send_file().
