Description

The ContentView needs to be updated to detect if XSEND can/should be used to stream bits. The pulp2 code[0] to add the X-SENDFILE header should also be ported.

It should be noted that nginx does not use the X-SENDFILE header, but rather the X-Accel-Redirect header.

It would be good to support either of these servers. Prehaps a default property named webserver in settings.py and a user config in server.yaml that defaults to None, and can be set to None, apache, or nginx

Checklist

Update ContentView
Add config opinion to server.yaml and settings.py
update the config options docs
If the webserver setting is 'apache' have file responses respond with the X-SEND response header
If the webserver setting is 'nginx' have file responses respond with the X-Accel-Redirect response header

Subject changed from Add support for Apache integration and X-SEND files in Content WSGI application. to Add support for Apache integration and X-SEND files

I think for the foreseable future we will only have 1 WSGI application serving all content requests include API and content requests. I think the adding of XSend support and Apache can continue with that 1 WSGI application and if we want to break it out we could do that as separate work.
