Yes, this is a problem indeed. maybe the whole static-file-caching is 
not possible when using FE-users then. Because a cached page for every 
single fe-user doesnot make a lot of sense ;-).

Bah, again, a nasty situation. This is a very hard one to work on.

You're writing a modified version of mod_rewrite - the apache module? 
Sounds crazy. ;-)

That's right, with the conditions you would need to keep the extension / 
module consistent with the features TypoScript offers.

Another thing would be (in regarding the both approaches) -- what is the 
performance benefit of static files from your module... I'll check this 
soon.
