Hey, I've got a working implementation of $r->finfo, but it's quite messy.
Here are the problems I have...
First, there is no clear mechanism to convert from apr_finfo_t to struct stat ;(
Even more annoying is that even if it was possible, some elements are lost, like
st_blksize, st_blocks & st_rdev.
Second, to somewhat convert an apr_finfo_t to stat, I need a few non-exported
apr_file functions, that I currently am cut and pasting, but I quite obviously
break cross-platform compatibility.
My understanding is that this might be better solved in apr itself, but like I
said, the conversion from struct stat to apr_finfo_t is lossy, probably for
cross-platform reasons.
Right now, the most sensible solution to me is to do exactly like finfo in
Apache::compat, but in C, but that requires an extra stat that's not quite
needed.
Any thoughts ?
