Bug #1258
closeddon't send content length header
Description
I am using FastCGI and X-LIGHTTPD-send-file header to make lighty to send files with kernel sendfile. but lighty doesn't send Content-Length header. and it's ruble for us.
for example I can make stat to file and send this header manualy - but it will be double work and it's stupid.
is there any way to make lighty send Content-Length header when I use X-LIGHTTPD-send-file header from FastCGI aplication?

the content length is not needed with x-sendfile responses as the file is send in chunked encoding anyway. in 1.5 the request is passed to mod_staticfile so you will get the content-length header for free.

i forgot to mention fixing this in 1.4 would mean some bigger structural changes. and dont think this is feasible.

FYI: another option: mod_fastcgi supports an extension called X-Sendfile2 which does set Content-Length
