Making fast images request/response

[lars]

Hi
Whats the best way for creating fast non static images request/response?
Using
GET(self):
   return open('image').read()

uses IO is it better to read and store all the images in a dict and what is the best buffer to store the images with?
images = {}
images[image] = open('image').read()

GET(self,image):
  return images[image]

Its better to serve them through web server, it is possible to do it with either nginx or apache, your webpy should return special header so web server knows which file to send.

nginx: http://wiki.nginx.org/XSendfile

apache: https://tn123.org/mod_xsendfile/

static content would be served by web server, need more fast？ add a cache like varnish ,squid
