// Package internalsrv provides a simple middleware that (a) prevents access
// to internal locations and (b) allows to return files from internal location
// by setting a special header, e.g. in a proxy response.
//
// The package is named internalsrv so as not to conflict with Go tooling
// convention which treats folders called "internal" differently.
