Hi, I'm one of the developers of the "circle" project, and have a slightly peculiar request. I want to be able to add some entries like this to the ..htaccess for the "circle" files area:
<Files Circle-0.35.tar.gz> Header add Content-MD5: ktd/yAtYroc5H03TNglnbA== Header add Content-SHA1: hbQFKYoX1f4UztRQT2kYEt8yxAc= </Files> Currently Apache on Savannah barfs at this. If it doesn't open some kind of security hole, would it be possible to change the Apache configuration to allow me to add these headers? Why on earth would i want to do this? Well, if apache produces a content-md5 header, a p2p program (for example, circle) might grab the response headers and go and look up the file on it's network rather than downloading it from the Savannah servers. So when the next circle release comes around, one person downloads it from Savannah and all our other users (all fifteen of them) get it off the circle network. Ok, not a huge saving. But in principle, if everyone does this, the bandwidth savings could be rather large. cheers, Paul IM: pfh on thecircle.org.au Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is no conspiracy. _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
