It looks like the tests are passing on Travis... It looks good to me. What says @minrk?

We can define AuthenticatedFileHandler.get_content_type to include the charset.

Are you requesting that @agermanidis does that in this PR, or suggesting that we do it separately?

Implements the set of changes described at #968, and fixes #1024.
In summary, a
files_handler_classis added as an attribute toContentsManager, specifying a custom request handler for the/filesrequests. ForFileContentsManager, this is set toAuthenticatedFilesHandler(which is a light proxy over Tornado'sStaticFileHandler).Using tornado's
StaticFileHandlerclass for serving local files is more efficient and enables HTTP Range requests, which are necessary for seekable video embeds (see #1024).An additional change is made to the
test_contents_managertest case to allow bothtext/plainand
text/plain; charset=UTF-8as acceptablecontent-types. The reason being that whileFilesHandlerexplicitly specifies the content type (here), Tornado's static file handler just sets the content type to the mime-type of the file, which doesn't include charset; overwriting that would be awkward.This is my first time digging through this codebase so any changes/comments/suggestions would be much appreciated.
