I'm using both, I'm not familiar with X-Sendfile,
But my situation is this: I have a folder with my music collection, I scan the folder and record the pathnames. Because I don't want to set this folder public, I want to manage the user login with django so not everyone can download my music. Is this possible with X-Sendfile? TY Nick, I'll try this one. But I guess X-Sendfile is a better solution.
