val resolve : 
  ?no_check_for:string ->
  request:Ocsigen_extensions.request ->
  filename:string -> resolved

Takes into account the fact that filename does not exists, is a symlink or is a directory, and raises Failed_404 or Failed_403 accordingly. no_check_for is supposed to be a prefix of filename ; directories above no_check_for are not checked for symlinks
