in thread Why can I not acess files outside cgi-bin directory?

It doesn't work because it seems that the server is always thinking, openning or reading file there and the status bar stuck at ~50%. Really confused!

    Maybe the file is big. Slurping the whole file into memory can cause the process to go swap-bound.

    Try copying it a chunk at a time. (Use File::Copy or DIY). 

    {
  local $/ = \1024;
  local *_;
  while (<READ>) { print };
}
