# Zip

The `zip` module enables dynamic generation of ZIP archives. It supports
including files retrieved from proxied servers, along with several modern ZIP
format features:

- large file support;
- UTC timestamps;
- UTF-8 encoded filenames.

These capabilities allow clients to resume large archive downloads using
`Range` and `If-Range` headers, provided the server has prior
knowledge of the files' CRC-32 checksums.
