Serve files through .NET instead of NGINX #12

Open simon-wacker opened 2 years ago

simon-wacker commented 2 years ago

The advantages are

Return more specific status code in case the file is not available (for example, it may not be available because there is no resource with the given UUID, or there is such a resource but still no file, or ...)
Give more specific meta information like a "file name with extension" suggestion and the file's media type

The disadvantages are

Additional strain on the .NET Webserver with long-running requests
More difficult to implement properly (the files should be streamed)?

For a possible implementation see https://github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/blob/b4599432690b8753fc2eac23d52957f47e01997a/aspnetcore/mvc/models/file-uploads/samples/3.x/SampleApp/Startup.cs#L51-L72
