I tried to extend DAVNonCollection:

class MyDAVNonCollection(DAVNonCollection):

def get_content(self):
    # here I have a URL point to file in external server and want client to request it directly
    # but get_content() need return a file object
    # it is not good for me to open the file URL and return data, because the file is very large(may be 1GB or more)
