What does this change?

This RFC describes changes/enhancements to DLCS to tackle two distinct problems:

  • dealing with increasing and increasingly complex automated traffic ("bots")
  • ensuring the best image serving performance for human users (even if at the expense of response times for automated callers)

A side-effect is that it gives us a very rich store of reporting data for image traffic, for other analytic purposes.

It is very much a work in progress and is opened as a draft initially.
