One of my big projects right now involves streaming a live webcam into an HTML5 video stream, which means it needs to stream a filehandle. I have a bug in the system to implement this in send_file():

https://github.com/PerlDancer/Dancer2/issues/659

I ended up backporting to Dancer1 because of hitting this.

Even better would be to have a simple function call that takes a filehandle directly and streams it without needed to specify callbacks.

A smaller issue is to have an easy way to disable splat behavior. I'm reimplementing an existing REST API that has some literal '*' in many of the calls. With things on Dancer1, I was able to get it to work with a regex match, though that didn't seem to work when I tried it on Dancer2. Either way, a regex seems like an unnecessarily complicated way of solving this.

Thanks,
Timm

Hey everyone,

we're working on creating the Dancer2 roadmap. We need your help!

We want to design it with you, and we want to know:
* What do you think should be on the roadmap for Dancer2?
* What do you like to see being done?
* What would you help with, if it was on the plan?

As the last item suggests, we're interesting in getting much more help with implementing this plan, once we have it written, so expect many "call to action"s. :)

Let's open a discussion!
