Webboard: Zope headache / Deny by mime from httpheader

Hello Mr. Barkov,



after reading my post in the bug tracker, I think the title is 

wrong. I'd like to clarify this a bit.

It is about parsing the http header before downloading the rest. We 

gain at least tree new features:



* We can still cancel downloading if we don't have a parser for the 

mime-type (we don't need any further config options)

* We can hard limit the maximum file size beside of the MaxDocSize 

option because at least pdftotext doesn't like trunkated files

* I noticed strange behaviour of some zope installations which 

delivers a proper Last-Modified header but ignores the 

If-modified-since in the http request and answers with 200+data 

instead of 304.

I talked to the zope guys and they said filesuffixes are retro.
