As I was doing some research, I came across some creative uses of the Coral CDN - and I have previously used lighttpd for high volume sites - so I put the two together. For those of you that don't know about Coral CDN, its a peer-to-peer content distribution network. To take advantage of the CDN its easily - simply append .nyud.net to the end of any dns name and that's it!  Since the site I was dealing with was fully dynamic, I did not have a lot of options that could be quickly implemented.

Once you get lighttpd setup, here are the example config bits to setup and perform the redirect:

# make sure this isn't CoralCache requesting content
$HTTP["useragent"] !~ "^CoralWebPrx" {
    # make sure that this wasn't sent back to us from CoralCache
    $HTTP["querystring"] !~ "(^|&)coral-no-serve$" {
        url.redirect = ( "^/.*" => "http://%1.nyud.net$0" )
    }
}

The above will redirect all requests that do not have the Coral CDN user agent. It's important to add this or else you'll get a redirect loop.  Also - make sure you enable the "rewrite" and "redirect" server modules. 

For those of you that are using apache, you can add rules similiar to:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^CoralWebPrx
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com.nyud.net/$1 [R,L]

In the end, caching, static pages, and load balancing is your best bet. But if your in a bind, lighttpd and Coral CDN will do the trick!

• type - full, date or time - defaults to full

For more information on the date/time format see the PHP Date Function.

• EXPIRATIONFULL
• EXPIRATIONDATE
• EXPIRATIONTIME

• Changed wording from "Expiration Date" to "Post Expirator" and moved the configuration options to the "Settings" tab.

Merry Christmas!

In conjunction with the new WPMU release and release numbering, i'm proud to announce the release of the WPMU Ldap 2.6 plugin!  This release does require WPMU 2.6 due to the utilization of some new hooks.

Download it now!

Important Upgrade Notice! - If you are upgrading from the previous 1.3 versions that did not have support for local user creation, its important that after the upgrade you login as the local administrator, and with the "Fix Ldap Meta" option on the plugin configuration page.  This will populate the ldap_login meta value for all accounts (except the local admin) so that existing users are able to login.

Changes:

• Removed ugly hacks for the retrieve password form utilizing a new filter in the trunk.
• Freshened up the look of the admin pages

The plugin hooks into the wp-cron process and runs every hour.  It was designed and developed to work with Wordpress MU, however it will not work in the mu-plugins folder due to how the plugin activation is setup to register the cron hooks.

It can be downloaded from the Wordpress Plugin Directory - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-expirator/

Let me know if anyone encounters any issues and I hope you enjoy it!
