[TYPO3-dev] Missing feature in t3lib_cache_backend_MemcachedBackend

[Chris Zepernick {SwiftLizard}]

Hi Guys,

we altered our core to write FE - Sessions to memcache,
works like charm but we discovered a missing Feature in memcache
class which lead us to a security problem from the fallback point of view.

There is no way to check if a server is connected, so we can not check
on initialization if connect really worked.

Yes there is a var, .. but it is protected with no method to read its 
value.

Something like:

protected function isConnected(){
	return $this->serverConnected;
}

would be very nice here.

What do you think?


regards

chris
