Wildcards in AllowedHandlers

[suhaskhare]

Hi,

I just want to put each and every request for vhost in LVE. So can I just use wildcard for AllowedHandlers??

Like AllowedHandlers * (any handler)
AllowedHandlers */* (Any mime type)

Specifying all mime types individually would be pain.

This is very good idea. We will add it in the future version.
Not sure how practical it is to add LVE for static content (it does create overhead), but adding regexp to AllowedHandlers makes a lot of sense.

Adding static content to LVE is just for making use of maxentryprocs.. so no site would end up taking up all apache child server process (and thereby eliminate the use of mod_bw we use currently).

Hoping to see this feature in near future..

I will need to do some benchmarking. The cost of serving static pages is so low (as long as they are small) -- that rejecting page via LVE might cost as much (or close) as serving the page. Especially if you are in worker mode.
Of course if someone is serving multi megabyte files -- that is another story.
Anyway -- we will add regexp support for sure.

Also, if I am making use of mod_fastcgi for php and mod_hostinglimit for others, I would definitely like to have exception list for wild card..

Something like below

<IfModule mod_hostinglimits.c>
AllowHandlers * Except fcgid-script
</IfModule>

Once again -- makes a lot of sense.
We will make it Allow/Deny scheme, like:
AllowHandlers
DenyHandlers

like it is done in other parts of apache. Does it make sense?

Yes sounds fine..
