That's not much of an example. All it really shows is how to register a hook. A better example would be to *use* the hook in some way.
whoops. I guess I did leave out the explanatory comments. outside of that, it pretty much follows the example in almost all the other hooks by doing nothing, so it probably doesn't make sense to add real functionality there unless you want real functionality everywhere.
assuming mod_example is just meant to show all the hooks and how to hook into them, new patch with comments attached.
apparently it is (i.e., show syntactically how to use the API features)
latest patch committed to 2.1-dev
Given that map_to_storage/translate_name requirements for certain modules are actually interesting, it would be cool to have a small example module that shows, with minimal clutter, how a module that serves objects from outside of the filesystem ought to handle the various hooks, and such issues as
. what should r->filename be
. how to serve URIs that may have paths that aren't valid for filesystem objects (see recent discussion where URI containing ":" couldn't be served on Win32 because the module didn't bypass core's translate_name hook, which tried to map the object onto a file under DocumentRoot and realized that the resulting filename would be invalid)
