[Mono-list] HttpResponse.TransmitFile method

[Marc DM]

Hey all, 

this issue has come back to bite me in the ass. 

Response.WriteFile works in Mono/Debian just like it does on Win2k/.NET

It spools the file into RAM before feeding it out to the client.

Response.TransmitFile is supposed to perform the same action as if you
use Response.Redirect or Server.Transfer without restarting the page
processing.

Anyone have any ideas on how to protect *.zip, *.wmv and *.jpg files
behind an apache server with mono/mod_mono?

Thanks.
