[OT] Re: [TIPS] Basic configurations of Apache 2.0 for Cocoon 2

[Miles Elam]

Here's a question for all you HTTPd heads out there. ;-)

Is it possible now or reasonably straightforward to have HTTPd look for a static file and, upon failure, look up a fallback resource? For example, if a user requests "/images/foo.png", HTTPd would look up the file on the filesystem. If the file wasn't there, it would pass it to the servlet engine (or whatever dynamic process available). Hell, even better: "/images/foo" that invokes HTTPd's content negotiation and then checks the dynamic pool(s).

It's got filters now to pass the output of one module to the input of another, but what about a process similar to nested try/catch blocks? The first, most efficient method fails, fall back to the next, and the next...
