Delegate file serving to Apache

[whoiste...@hotmail.com]

Since Apache can serve files on its own and probably quite efficient
at it (atleast it's got it's only caching mechanisms), if I want to
serve a file from a wxjs, instead of using the IO module and
wxFile.read(), how can I redirect the request to the file in wxjs?

Not sure if I am framing this question properly.

The exactly idea I want to implement, is:
I liked my client to be able to find a file using a partial filename,
e.g. wildcards *partial_filename*, in another word, the client only
knows a portion of the filename.

After some research, it seems Apache doesn't have this file search
feature.
At the moment, I can use wxDir to find the filename, and use print the
response back, I guess this is quite fast already, but conceptually,
it seems I doing something that Apache should be able to do.

Yes, right now I do this:
1) client send the partial filename queue to server e.g. *file*
2) server sends the filename it finds back to client
3) client sends file requests to server again
4) server returns the file

This means I need to make to two requests in order to avoid using
wxFile.

What should be done is:
1) client send partial filename queue to server
2) server returns the file

I guess what I do works anyways, but I don't understand enough about
Apache to be able to do it better.
