Webserver accelerated download #1

Many webservers support accelerated downloads by sending a special header such as apache's X-Sendfile or the X-Accel-Redirect from nginx. It would be nice to have support for those. However, there need to be measures in place to prevent the headers if not needed, because they expose the physical file location.

Sure.
