Resumable downloads when using PHP to send the file?

Question

We are using a PHP scripting for tunnelling file downloads, since we don\'t want to expose the absolute path of downloadable file:

header(\"Content-Type: $ct         


        

Answer 1

If you're willing to install a new PECL module, the easiest way to support resumeable downloads with PHP is through http_send_file(), like this

We use it to serve database-stored content and it works like a charm !
