Yeah, that's what I said and that's why I don't like the idea. When the
cache expires -- and it MUST expire in a reasonable amount of time, or
security is compromised -- everything goes to hell, because FProxy forgets
that "blah/images/duck.gif" really means the CHK in the map file. It also
fucks with the user's intuition, because he won't realize that he can't
bookmark a file or even type "blah/index.html".
I've implemented my original evil colon version, with a "=" delimeter
instead of a space in the mapfile, as you suggested.
I agree, it bloats the keys, but it's a very flexible system.
Should I stick it in the CVS in all its infamy, or wait for the final
verdict? It's two new classes, one line in ProxyServer to instantiate the
MapHandler, and a few lines in HttpHandlerServlet to run applicable keys
through it. (Might bloat a little when I write the automatic removal
stuff.)
