Name        : nodejs-send
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 0.3.0
Release     : 4.fc21
URL         : https://github.com/visionmedia/send
Summary     : Better streaming static file server with Range and conditional-GET support
Description :
Send is Connect's static() extracted for generalized use, a streaming static
file server supporting partial responses (Ranges), conditional-GET
negotiation, high test coverage, and granular events which may be leveraged
to take appropriate actions in your application or framework.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

When relying on the root option to restrict file access it may be possible for an application consumer to escape out of the restricted directory and access files in a similarly named directory. For example, static(_dirname + '/public') would allow access to _dirname + '/public-restricted'.
