At what No; I am advocating to -NOT- (or at least grudgingly) give the naive app develoepr the means to shoot the poor operations guy in the foot by providing the developer a function of dubious use; which in 99 out of a 100 cases would be used to create a filename functionality. Or in other word; not pollute the apr layer with easy access to things best avoided. I agree that there -are- applications which need a 'real' temp dir - but in those cases those temp dirs are likely to see very app specific use. And therefor they ought to be under direct app control (so you can do the right NFS, RO-mounting, assign the riqht quota, appropriate xs controls and what not). Hiding that in APR is IMHO bad. Dw
