++1 I see this more valuable to httpd as a case study in alternate protocols than the ftp: scheme it offers. Until we have several modules, mod_snmp, mod_ftp, etc, we will never truly recognize where we must divide connection from resource from request. Some have asked if there is anything more to do. Others asked if it would support -x- (caching, content, whatever). Resources are served as sub-requests of the 'connection' (login) request. So they can contain anything, be cached or not, etc. The entire gamut of what you can serve from http: flows to ftp: But certainly more can be done. The request model in an httpd 2.2 or 2.4 version can become much cleaner, as we better divide the components of httpd. Bill
