An rfc2397 filter for httpd (data URI scheme)

[Graham Leggett <mi...@sharp.fm>]

Hi all,

Would anyone object to adding a simple filter able to encode rfc2397  
to httpd?

mod_include would be the most obvious consumer for a vanilla httpd  
installation. I was asked to build one of these, and I think it is  
small and simple enough to build it and donate it to httpd. Where we  
want to use it is from php, a call to a restful URL that returns the  
base64 data URL and gets included in the page, and means that our php  
people don't have to reinvent rfc2397 wrapping over and over again.  
You just drop in the filter on a view of your source images and you're  
done.

I'm keen to see us offer more useful filters to our collection, it is  
one of httpd's killer features.

Graham

I think this would be nice for mod_include. Did you have any other 
consumers in mind?
