Bug ID: 37603
Summary: Protect static files served by Apache
Change sponsored?: ---

Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low

There are times where it would be great to generate a large file in the
background and then alert the user when it's ready to download.
The problem at the moment is that proxying with Plack::App::CGIBin can lead to
timeouts, and serving directly with Apache means no
authentication/authorization checks.
This morning I realised though that we could actually use mod_perl to write a
Perl-based auth handler for Apache. (It looks like Nginx has a
ngx_http_perl_module equivalent as well.)
It would mean bolting on another dependency, but it's an interesting idea...
Of course, an alternative would be to just go with something like bug 31380.
That would be serving a static file via Starman, so it wouldn't be as efficient
as Apache, but it wouldn't timeout like Plack::App::CGIBin...
