Hi, does anyone have ideas on how to tune apache for very large directory listings ? this is perhaps out of the direct context of apache mirroring, but i'm hoping there is a (very thin) signal there :-)
i'm using apache to provide a http interface into our ftp archives (including the apache mirror) and on some directories (considering that it's quite a heavily loaded/busy server) it can take several minutes (5 minutes+) to return a directory listing which has 5,000+ entries in it. using ftp, it starts streaming almost immediately and the listing is about 1.5-2M long.. which takes around 30 seconds to complete. with http, it often times out after a few minutes :-/ regards, -jason
