Wouldn't it be better, if we use proxy instead of all-purpose network software? I was thinking about mod_proxy_flood.so with some function attached to request forwarding and a simple response handler which could allow users to:
Yup.
It would be cool if we could extend mod_proxy, but if this is impossible (because of some technical issues I'm not aware of) we might do our own thing. Writting a small, customized proxy in C/APR, Perl, Python, whatever schouldn't be all that hard.
If you use httpd-2.0 as a framework, I think you could get away with something like the following: install an input filter that intercepts all inbound data and writes the input body to a file in a special format that is essentially like flood's URL XML syntax for a urllist.
If you'd like to pursue this, let me know and I can try to give more specifics. -- justin
