X-Sendfile

The Send HTTP middleware and the X-Sendfile HTTP response header are used to stream large files using RoadRunner. While the file is being streamed with the help of RoadRunner, the PHP worker may accept the next request.

Original issue: link The middleware reads the file in 10 MB chunks. For example, for a 5 GB file, only 10 MB of RSS memory is used. If the file is smaller than 10 MB, the middleware adjusts the buffer to fit the file size.
