This module solves a niche problem in complex website configurations, where a particular page might be made of tens of subprojects, with independent release cycles released by independent teams. The module combines multiple small css and javascript files into a single download, but without the penalty of losing support for conditional requests, and without amplifying a denial of service if a specific file is missing for whatever reason. > I would join Jim in supporting mod_combine as a subproject, external > to httpd trunk, for now.
