Configuration

Sample configuration:

<?php
return array(
    'HumusStreamResponseSender' => array(
        'enable_speed_limit' => true,
        'enable_range_support' => true,
        'chunk_size' => 1024 * 1024 //  = 1MB/s
    ),
);

Usage of controller plugin

The simplest way to stream a response from a controller, is the stream plugin.

class IndexController extends AbstractActionController
{
    public function fileAction()
    {
        return $this->plugin('stream')->binaryFile('/path/to/my/file');
    }
}

Additional notes

If the speed limit switch is set to true, the used chunksize will also be the download speed in bytes per second

The default configuration is:

• enable_speed_limit = false
• enable_range_support = false
• chunk_size = 262144
