// handles If-Match, If-Unmodified-Since, If-None-Match, If-Modified-Since,
// and If-Range requests.
//
// If the response's Content-Type header is not set, ServeContent
// first tries to deduce the type from name's file extension.
//
// The name is otherwise unused; in particular it can be empty and is

// If modtime is not the zero time or Unix epoch, ServeContent
// includes it in a Last-Modified header in the response. If the
// request includes an If-Modified-Since header, ServeContent uses
// modtime to decide whether the content needs to be sent at all.
//
// The content's Seek method must work: ServeContent uses
// a seek to the end of the content to determine its size.
