Oh... yes. This is something I didn't consider (am I am moron or what?
:)...
This was done for performance reasons. It is much cheaper to fetch this
URL from the filesystem instead of the HTTP server. There needs to be
some detection code here.
- if file exists
- use local file
- if file does not exist
- assume URL is some type of CGI/dynamic content.
- if url does not exist allow the webserver to report an error.
I would be +1 for a patch to this. I will put this in TODO as a bug.
