 	Can we implement this multiple ways - ie. Debian doesn't appear to 
support x-sendfile by default, which means that Debian users will have to

 	It doesn't sound like even halfway restrictive hosts will enable

The internal rewrite method does work, and the file name is not visible to 
the user.

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
   I think I've forgotten this before.
