[Opensim-dev] GetAssetStreamHandler, grid mode and caching

[Tommi Laukkanen]

Hello

Does someone know why GetAssetStreamHandler is not using cache but
fetching data directly from database with asset data plugin? This can
cause pretty heavy load on database when a lot of assets is loaded via
HTTP.

I noticed this when debugging why RegionAssetService does not work in
grid mode. It fails as GetAssetStreamHandler tries to load the assets
via data plugin which is not present in region instead of using
assetcache which is used by ll clients.

I would like to propose changing GetAssetStreamHandler to use
AssetCache to enable MXP enabled client to load assets via region in
grid mode (ll viewers load assets via region in grid mode but use
UDP).
