+From 1bdaac05a9c10269e4e4b23c69cf081ca2bee1ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: James Haggerty <james.haggerty@morsemicro.com>
+Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2024 13:35:59 +1100
+Subject: [PATCH] main/file: add support for custom headers to file serving
+
+This allows us to set 'Cache-Control: no-cache', which makes it
+possible to develop LuCI JS without resorting to disabling the cache
+in the browser dev tools.
