Title Body

I'm using mod_xsendfile (v0.12) to serve static files where Django is controlling access to the files based on users and permissions. In my conf file, I have: XSendFile On XSendFilePath e:/documents/ <Directory e:/Documents> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> In my django code, I set the headers like so: assert(isinstance(filename, FieldFile)) xsendfile = filename.name if(platform.system() == 'Windows'): xsendfile = xsendfile.replace('\\', '/') response = HttpResponse() response['X-Sendfile'] = xsendfile mimetype = mimetypes.guess_type(xsendfile)[0] response['Content-Type'] = mimetype response['Content-Length'] = filename.size And in my log file I get: [Fri Oct 22 08:54:22 2010] [error] [client 192.168.20.34] (20023)The given path was above the root path: xsendfile: unable to find file: e:/Documents/3/2010-10-20/TestDocument.pdf In this version of mod_xsendfile , XSendFileAllowAbove On generates the error: Invalid command 'XSendFileAllowAbove', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration I assumed that was because they have added the XSendFilePath white list. Anyone else got this to work?
