[cs631apue] SWS File I/O error

I have another quick question:
The response header should be sent before writing the file to the
socket, after the file has been located. However, if a failure happens
during the reading/sending of the file, then the server should send a
status 500...except the response header was already sent. How could I
get around this issue, considering a) Dummy reading the file first
doesn't guarantee it will work the second time, and b) the file could be
larger than the amount of memory available to hold the entire thing.
The same logic could apply when executing a cgi script throws an error
as well -- the header was already sent.
