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:




  
Last-modified

  
Constructed based on the modification time of the given file.
    

  





  
Content-length

  
Constructed based on the size of the give file.
    

  





  
Content-type

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