Not that I've found. Seems to me that you either ask the server to read the file and pass it on in a controlled way to the client (sequences of fopen/fread/fclose), or you ask the client to go away and read the file for itself (javascript or meta tag). If the server reads the file, then by definition twice the bandwidth is used. If the client reads the file, then you have to tell it which file to read.
But I may be wrong

and would be delighted to learn :squareeyed:
