Yes. Writing an auth handler and then letting the normal handler deal with serving the file is more efficient than that. The most efficient is using mod_auth_tkt on your proxy server and setting the ticket cookie from your perl code when people log in. Then the static files don't need to touch mod_perl at all. http://www.openfusion.com.au/labs/mod_auth_tkt/ - Perrin _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.rawmode.org Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.rawmode.org/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
