Once I made an example mod_python handler, that resized images on the fly. For example: http://server/folder/image.jpg - would give you the original image, served directly by apache without any performance hit. http://server/folder/image.jpg?thumbnail - would resize the picture (and cache the result on disk) and return that, on a second request it would return the cached image very fast by calling an apache.send_file function. see http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2004-September/016471.html -- damjan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
