[Catalyst] How to send raw HTTP response

[Christian Lackas]

Hi Everybody,

is it possible for a controller method to directly produce the raw HTTP response?
My application generates a (potentially large)) ZIP file on the fly,
which I don't want to store (on disk or in memory) but rather send it
directly to the client while producing it.

In a CGI script I use Archive::Zip such as

    print CGI::header(...);
    $ZIP->writeToFileHandle(*STDOUT);
    for my $f (@files) {
        $ZIP->addFile($f, basename($f));
    }

How can I achieve something similar under Catalyst?

Thanks,
 Christian
