It needs to be generic as possible so that, a) people will use it, b) noone has to edit their backend much to support it. X-sendfile is already "in the wild" and supported by a number of backends. I don't have strong feeling as to how it is implemented within httpd, but the subrequest gives a lot of flexibility to it, like using deflate, running SSI on php output, etc. -- Brian Akins Chief Operations Engineer Turner Digital Media Technologies
