Hi all,
[Reposting to this thread, that is closer to the subject... first posted in "Preparations for ZD's ... " our ideas are in the same direction - let the path decide, but with your idea the paths have to be different from root. Mine can be local /Roger]
How about using the path to decide if the page is static or not, instead of using hacks that will never be complete enough.
My idea: - if the path a contains a directory named "static" then the page is static and can be handled by khttpd. If khttpd is not running it will work anyway, without polluting the environment with hacks.
Example: $WEBROOT/logo.gif will be handled by user space http server (if $WEBROOT does not contain a "static" directory) $WEBROOT/static/logo.gif can be handled by khttpd if it is running.
=> Any page designer can decide (think private home pages), he would know if a page, gif ... is static or not.
Implementation details.
Searching for a specific string in a text are described in several text books, like Algorithms by Robert Sedgewick. One that I think is promising is Rabin-Karp.
"Moving hash value" - can be compared to moving average over characters. When it matches you got a likely candidate, by using weights you could almost avoid false indications.
[watch out for ./static.html ! probably the match should be with "/static/"]
