In apache 1.3 one could check whether a r->finfo is already opened by checking whether r->finfo.filehand is non-NULL. However with ap2/apr, r->finfo could be unitilialized and containing random garbage.
However, we could null out r->finfo.valid and rest assured that if it remains zero, there is no available finfo data.
That would be very good. And I'd love to see an API apr_fileinfo_is_valid using that, instead of using a direct test. So if in the future you will want to change the logistics for this decision, you will be able to do so.
apr_finfo_t::valid represents which elements of an apr_finfo_t were populated. With the platform discrepancies, this varies from OS to OS.
I know, that's why I propose that API.
