After spending some time examining http-replicator I think that it's a much better foundation for further development of InstantMirror features than mod_python is. Running as a standalone daemon lets it handle concurrent requests more naturally. As a bonus, http-replicator supports upstream ftp servers as well as http, and deals with byte-range requests properly (more properly than InstantMirror does, at least). Unlike InstantMirror, the current http-replicator implements a traditional http proxy rather than a transparent proxy. It was pretty easy to hack in a new --mirror option that lets it support either mode. With the attached patch (applied atop http-replicator_4.0alpha1), http-replicator acts as a drop-in replacement for InstantMirror: ./http-replicator --port 80 --root /mirrors --mirror http://download.fedora.redhat.com --nohost --daemon mirror.log If this works for someone besides me, I'll submit the patch to the http-replicator maintainer. --Ed
Any chance someone could get http-replicator into shape as a real python module and package? I'd be very grateful!
