Title: Add settings flag to to issue a 301 rediect instead of returning the file content.

This removes the requirement to have gunicorn be the file server for packages.

When a file is requested it returns a 301 redirect to the file location, pip is smart enough to handle it.

If you care to make sure these packages are secure, you will need to keep your htpasswd file in sync with localshops credentials.

Here is example of the nginx config:
```
location /source {
# Have nginx host the file, not the gunicorn process.
root /home/vbabiy/localshop/;

auth_basic "Localshop";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/passwords/localshop.htpasswd;
}
```
