Subject: Re: AuthKit for Static Files

If the system will be serving disproportionately more static files
than dynamic pages, then at some point Python will not be able to keep
up, and you'll have to serve the files from Apache with a non-Python
authorization system.

I don't know about Apache, but with lightppd or ngnix in the front you could
modify static middleware not to stream the file, but instead return empty
respone with X-Sendfile header - then lighty or nginx would pick up the file
and stream it to client.

The header has sligthly different name and meaning in one of those servers,
I
don't recall which one.
