Another thing I noticed when we started to look at mod_ftp (looking at
strace/truss-output trying to figure out why things didn't work) was
that it stats all entries in a directory twice, first explicitly and
then via the subreq. Wouldn't the subreq be enough? It's no biggie for
now, but it would be nice to get rid of unneccessary stats as a bonus ;)
This is a separate issue; we need to refactor out 90% of the subrequests
and treat these at top level requests.
OK. I was under the impression that those subrequests were made to
filter out stuff you don't have access to from the directory listings,
but I stand corrected.
I discovered while trying to accomodate named virtual hosts (the hack to
let [EMAIL PROTECTED] resolve to the host.com vhost) it's simply not worth
hacking one without the other.
Ah. Am I right in guessing that making it play well with mod_cache
would come more or less for free after the request-refactoring is
done?
