Anyway, I'll report back on my experiments...
I look forward to it:-)
I have done some more investigation and have written up a proposal for
my intended approach to this VFS requirement.
http://privsep.org/AprVirtualFileSystem
Using the generic infrastructure outlined above, I would be able to plug
mod_privsep into httpd with minimal core changes - only some very small
changes to support these proposed generic APR VFS providers.
In addition to letting us privilege separate mod_dav_fs (my goal) with
no changes required to its code (my present approach needs to change all
of the APR File IO calls), it should also theoretically work for other
modules such as mod_ftp.
I am going to start implementing something based on the proposal
outlined in the link above plus also a mod_vfs_perfstats and a
mod_vfs_log (as well as converting my mod_privsep to use this VFS
infrastructure). It may take me some time... (I may cry out for help
with beos, os2 and netware at some point).
I can move the (moinmoin) doc over to wiki.apache.org if there is
interest in the outlined approach. I should probably raise this proposal
on the APR list at some point - it really is a cross-cutting concern
that effects both apr and httpd.
Cheers,
Michael.
