Maximum filesize supported by readers
Fellow users,
Are there any limitations on the size of files served by readers
(<map:read/>) ?
What is the size of the largest file that you have served using a reader?
I would like to serve a 50-60 MB file (.exe or .tgz). Did anybody already
encounter problems with files of this size?

Thanks for the info, I'll keep this in mind.

So..... I assume that means that ByteRangeResourceReader supports resumes in
case of broken downloads (when Using a download manager like Download
Accelerator Plus or Gozilla)? And the others don't?
Anyway, I'll play a little bit with it later this week (or early next week)
and I'll post a summary to the list afterwards.

Just remembered one thing: Default cocoon's pipeline is cacheable
pipeline, thus it will try to cache reader's response. This is not
desirable in your case, and only solution (right now) is to either:
1. Use non-caching pipeline
2. Or, patch reader (may be I will do this in Cocoon also)
Also, in HEAD branch, there is ByteRangeResourceReader (in the
scratchpad directory) which should work better with large files (it
supports byte ranges requests).

No, Cocoon does not have a limitation.

No, I have not tested with large files. Had no reason to. Do your
testing, report results.
