i probably should give more detail about my question.
in my case, i need to do authorization. do i need
extra mod_perl front-end server to do this? how does
this perform?
also, will serving the file from backend mod_perl
server to the front-end proxy a such bad idea? I am
thinking that the modperl server will spit out the
file to the proxy without have it tieup with the
upload and let the proxy handle the file upload. am i
right about this? ( couldn't find much detail on proxy
to back it up at this moment )
there was a discussion about Perlbal a few weeks ago on this list...
somone posted a case study, i think. or a link to one....
from what i recall, perlbal will do a subrequest to a backend modperl
server for auth, then handle the file upload itself.
you don't want to do any large file handling, or even general static
file handling, under mp if at all possible. let it handle content
generation and authorization as the 'brains' -- thats what it does
best. use other apps like perlbal, nginx, whatever to handle your
static files and large uploads.
