file(filepath::String; loadfile=nothing, status = 200, headers = []) :: HTTP.Response

Reads a file and returns a HTTP.Response. The file is read as binary. If the file does not exist, an ArgumentError is thrown. The MIME type and the size of the file are added to the headers.

Arguments

• loadfile: An optional function to load the file. If not provided, the file is read using the open function.
• status: The HTTP status code to be used in the response. Defaults to 200.
• headers: Any additional headers to be included in the response. Defaults to an empty array.

Returns

• A HTTP response.
