Hi,

If you all recommend using mod_perl with a reverse proxy, then I am sure you can help me by telling how to protect the static files offered for download.

I have many files that are generated permanently from 10 to 10 minutes, with names like 2007-11-06-10-10-00.tar.gz and I would like to make them available only to the registered customers.

What's the recommended way to protect static files?
(I am using Catalyst framework under mod_perl)

Thanks.

I run lighttpd as reverse proxy in front of mod_perl configured with
prefork. I average 100 to 200 concurrent connections on lighttpd and
need 4 mod_perl processes with keepalive disabled to service all
those requests. [thanks Perrin for suggesting this config!!]

 That's actually a pretty common ratio of front to backend servers.
 I *highly* recommend a reverse proxy for all but the smallest
 environments.
