The reason I implemented it like this was to support things like the curl progress bar if users decide to serve up large files using the --static mechanism.

Here's the code that hooks it up to the URL resolver:

https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/458f03ad3a454d271f47a643f4530bd8b60ddb76/datasette/app.py#L1001-L1005

Which uses this function:

https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/a6ff123de5464806441f6a6f95145c9a83b7f20b/datasette/utils/asgi.py#L285-L310

One option here would be to support a workaround that looks something like this:

http://localhost:8001/my-static/log.txt?_unknown_size=1`

The URL routing code could then look out for that ?_unknown_size=1 option and, if it's present, omit the content-length header entirely.

It's a bit of a cludge, but it would be pretty straight-forward to implement.

Would that work for you @broccolihighkicks?
