The source of built-in data of DeleGate including icons and messages
are at the source code directory "src/builtin/*".
They are compiled into the executable file of DeleGate and
are accessible as resources on a run-time DeleGate with
URL "http://delegate/-/builtin/*".
Those data can be replaced without recompiling DeleGate but
by defining MOUNT for them.
For example, the error message returned on forbidden access is at
"http://delegate/-/builtin/mssgs/403-forbidden.dhtml", and
it can be replaced by a MOUNT parameter like this:
-
MOUNT="/-/builtin/mssgs/403-forbidden.dhtml /tmp/forbidden.dhtml"
In this example, the MOUNT replaces only the forbidden message and the alternative data is a local file under "/tmp". But in general, a group of builtin-data can be replaced using wild-card (*) notation and alternative data can be placed at remote host which can be accessible via HTTP or FTP. For example, copy the whole of "src/builtin/" into "http://yourwww/delegate/builtin/" and MOUNT it like this:
-
MOUNT="/-/builtin/* http://yourwww/delegate/builtin/*"
Loading remote data will not suffer from overhead as long as cache is enabled, since MOUNTed built-in data are cached and reused like usual data.
