X-Sendfile for mod_fastcgi

Hi,

For performance reasons I would like a X-Sendfile method (in  
mod_fastcgi?) for sending files to the client (like http:// 
blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2006/07/02/x-sendfile). In short,  
mod_fastcgi searches for the X-Sendfile header and sends the  
specified file directly to the client. For Apache2 there is  
mod_xsendfile (which can be combined with mod_fastcgi), but it is not  
available for Apache 1.3. Is there already some functionality for the  
method described above?

With Regards,
	Bernard van Gastel

P.S. I have already patched mod_fastcgi 2.4.0 for the above described  
functionality, but because it is my first patch, my first look into  
Apache internals and first look into FastCGI internals I don't know  
if I have implemented it correctly (extra attribute for the  
fcgi_request called 'sendfile' which is NULL unless process_headers 
(...) finds a correct header. It is send in doWork(...)).
