Big(ish) media files, and I'm wanting to hook into Apache so that I can control access to them with custom logic. As far as I've been able to determine, this is something that wsgi/fastcgi can't really do, unless you use URL rewriting to force the requests to go through a script. Even then, it's suboptimal as the file would then be piped through a script instead of handled directly by Apache. mod_python was pretty much exactly what I need. Thank you for your attempts to help, at any rate. _________________________________________________________________ Win a $10,000 shopping spree from Hotmail!
