[Opensim-dev] Packet Pooling - Should it work?

[Diva Canto]

GetTextures and GetMesh are guaranteed to serve only textures and mesh. 
But yes, if those are meant to be protected, then something needs to 
protect them.

We never really finished the CAP mechanism properly in core, because the 
default configuration doesn't need the extra protocol. That would be 
nice to have in core.

Also removed it when the avatar left the region.  So you had some authentication happening and the actual cap handler wasn’t wide open.   As you said, using it as is opens assets to the world.
