[osg-users] osgDB::FileCache for network sources

[Jeremy]

That's fine. I'll do a custom subclass. I was just thinking given the
simplicity of the need(make a cache copy of everything), that it would be
reasonable to have a 'cache everything' option on the built in file cache.
I'm not looking for some complex mechanism for determining more selectively
what should and shouldn't be cached, just something to ensure that I have a
file cache hierarchy with all the referenced content all together within
the same structure. That meets the needs of archival and deployment of a
very focused set of data a good deal cleaner than only remote files cached,
but perhaps better off implemented as a custom subclass.

Thanks
