directory tree, and there's no need for writing HTML, XML, or the like
for normal usage.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News file\*HANDLER coordinates some free media conversion packages with a PostgreSQL backend to index, make searchable, and serve (via httpd) binary and text files on your HD, via the database. It's gridded streaming of audio/video as well as flat text/'doc'/PDF/image. Media is served transparently to your Web server; your original content is never exposed. f\*H is constantly looking for other servers on the Internet, giving everyone access to everyone's files. It caches media into a database on demand, so as the network grows, the network improves. A CGI script with embedded AJAX provides the UI. It reserves some CSS class names, so the UI can be quickly and easily rewritten.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
Besides some more general code tweaking,
file\*HANDLER is now fully compatible with a MySQL
database in addition to PostgreSQL. The MySQL
implementation is slightly faster on access/load
times, but slightly more kludgy in the guts. The
Postgres implementation is noticeably slower with
normal queries, slightly slower with BLOB
access/creation, but is overall more consistent.
