> This issue was reported by Wim Heirman on the mod_python list:
> When req.sendfile(filename) is called where filename is a symbolic link, only part
 of the file is sent to the client (as many bytes as there are characters in the sym
link's file reference, so for a symlink pointing to '../index.html'  returns the fir
st
13 bytes of the correct file).
> Wim suggested changing APR_READ to APR_FINFO_NORM in the apr_stat call in req_send
file().
