Re: [dancer-users] Serving big static and private files

I am not sure how to do this when the files are served directly by nginx.

Is there a solution? Any recommendations? Hey Garbor,

Have a look at nginx's support for the X-Accel-Redirect header. Your Dancer app returns a response with this header set which nginx then (internally) redirects to the local file rather than than stuffing the file content into Dancer's response. A quick Google search shows up a Catalyst advent calendar entry that should give an overview of how this works; http://www.catalystframework.org/calendar/2009/16 Hope that helps, Russell.
