I've been looking at it over the last while, for hacking it into mod_ftpd. Caching FTP transfers should definitely be possible, with only a little bit of generalisation to mod_cache neccessary. What would be really useful for me though, and what I've been looking at is having an interoperable cache, so that if someone downloads a file using HTTP and it's in the cache, when an FTP request comes in for the same file - it is served from the cache. I realise it's crazy, but there's more information in the cache than FTP actually needs, so it is possible. How ugly the solution might be is another thing. And then, on top of this, I'd love for the ftp module to be able to serve content from a proxy backend. So that I can run a decent reverse proxy FTP server - but loadbalanced and using HTTP as the retrieval mechanism. It may only be useful to people like me who run mirror servers and have to make a lot of content available over ftp and http, and need scalability for that content delivery, but there's enough possible benefit for me to justify some of my time trying to add those features :) -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
