14 | These functions are responsible for allowing or denying a | |
15 | request, based on a number of different parameters. These | |
16 | parameters include the client's IP address, the hostname | |
17 | of the requested resource, the request method, etc. Some | |
18 | of the necessary information may not be immediately available, | |
19 | for example the origin server's IP address. In these cases, | |
20 | the ACL routines initiate lookups for the necessary | |
21 | information and continues the access control checks when | |
22 | the information is available. | |
