DESCRIPTION


This routine is used to generate complete responses, including the
    HTTP status code specified by the status argument and appropriate
    headers followed by the contents of the file specified with the file
    argument. This routine utilizes the underlying builtin file-server code
    (aka, "fastpath"). As such, it shares the fastpath capabilities to
    automatically cache pre-read or memory mapped copies of the files and can
    safely support multiple, simultaneous responses. The following headers are
    included in the output:





  

  
Constructed based on the modification time of the given file.
    

  

  

  
Constructed based on the size of the give file.
    

  

  

  
Constructed with the given type argument. If type is NULL,
      the type will be determined based on the filename using the
      Ns_GetMimeType routine
