 | |
|     HTTP connectors. The AJP connectors do not support them.</b>

 | |
|   <p>
 | |
|     When using HTTP connectors Tomcat supports using sendfile to send large
 | |
|     static files. These writes, as soon as the system load increases, will be performed
 | |
|     asynchronously in the most efficient way. Instead of sending a large response using
 | |
|     blocking writes, it is possible to write content to a static file, and write it
 | |
|     using a sendfile code. A caching valve could take advantage of this to cache the
 | |
|     response data in a file rather than store it in memory. Sendfile support is
 | |
|     available if the request attribute <code>org.apache.tomcat.sendfile.support</code>
 | |
|     is set to <code>Boolean.TRUE</code>.
 | |
|   </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
|   <p>
 | |
|     Any servlet can instruct Tomcat to perform a sendfile call by setting the appropriate
 | |
|     request attributes. It is also necessary to correctly set the content length
 | |
|     for the response. When using sendfile, it is best to ensure that neither the
 | |
|     request or response have been wrapped, since as the response body will be sent later
 | |
|     by the connector itself, it cannot be filtered. Other than setting the 3 needed
 | |
|     request attributes, the servlet should not send any response data, but it may use
 | |
|     any method which will result in modifying the response header (like setting cookies).
 | |
|   </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
|   <ul>
 | |
|   <li><code>org.apache.tomcat.sendfile.filename</code>: Canonical filename of the file which will be sent as
 | |
|       a String</li>
 | |
|   <li><code>org.apache.tomcat.sendfile.start</code>: Start offset as a Long</li>
 | |
|   <li><code>org.apache.tomcat.sendfile.end</code>: End offset as a Long</li>
 | |
|   </ul>
 | |
|   <p>
 | |
|     In addition to setting these parameters it is necessary to set the content-length header.
 | |
|     Tomcat will not do that for you, since you may have already written data to the output stream.
 | |
|   </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
|   <p>
 | |
|     Note that the use of sendfile will disable any compression that Tomcat may
 | |
|     otherwise have performed on the response.
