wow. I did not know about your move away from OSCache. It tells you how long I've been away from Roller. I found some post on google around June 2004. Anyways, I still think that memory is not the way to go since we keep recomputing pages that might not change for a long time.
Regarding the library, it might be worth looking into to not have to depend on Apache and having an entire blog on disk would totally satisfy my requirement, no matter how Roller decides to serve it. :-) Elias On 8/22/05, Lance Lavandowska <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We actually moved away from OSCache due to a memory leak (I hear it's > since been fixed, but don't know). > > The reason I suggested an alternative file location, is that then we'd > also have a mechanism by which the user can 'archive' her posts (add a > "zip up your files for download" option ala Pebble). > > Instead of Apache mod-rewrite, how about using the URLRewrite > (https://urlrewrite.dev.java.net/) library? > > Lance > > On 8/21/05, Elias Torres <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Lance, > > > > I'm not as concerned with the location on disk as I am with the actual > > URL.
