How "wrong" would it be to have a map_to_storage that simply filled out r->finfo and returned OK (or the appropriate error) always? IE, no directory or file walk. From what I understand, Directory and File directives would be useless, but Location would still work. Is this correct?
When the URI represents a file, the directory walk fills in r->finfo fairly efficiently - just one stat() typically followed by an open() from the handler. I'd like to see that change to an open() - fstat() sequence to be even more efficient, but that's a different topic.
What I'm trying to do here is deal with the case where the URI is known to be completely outside the filesystem, like server-status for example. r->finfo is meaningless in that case - there is no file as far as the core code can tell.
