Leif Hedstrom commented on TS-4326:
-----------------------------------
If we do this, we should remove and deprecate the healthcheck plugin. A few
observation from the work on the old plugin, and the ACME plugin:
1) The usage of inotify was probably premature optimization, I don't think this
is needed.
2) More importantly, the caching in memory was likely also premature
optimizations. I benchmarked the ACME plugin, which also serves static files,
but somewhat differently (it's a global txn intercept). But even doing a stat()
/ open() on the file on each access was very, very fast.
3) We should make sure this new plugin is a remap plugin, usage like
{code}
map http://example.com/static http://doesntmatter.com @plugin=static_files.so
@pparam=--docroot=/var/html/static_files
{code}
4) It'd be useful to have a basic notion of ".htaccess" features to put into
each directory. I'd be ok with having those as pparam= options too (or both).
5) I think though that a requirement would be to allow for a MIME types
configuration file of some sort. This is to assure that we serve the static
files with appropriate Content-Type: header.

> I think this can also (likely) replace e.g. the health checks plugins. I did
> some benchmarks, even doing an open() / read() sequence on every request can
> still serve a lot of traffic.
> We should write this as a remap plugin, with server intercepts, very similar
> to the generator plugin.
