I think this could work, i.e., dummy up a "runt" or "truncated" connection to exercise the rest of the code. But, it's possible something would go uninitialized or assume goodness, i.e., just run off the end of the truncated content. Hmm...
I think today, in 2011, some of the flexibility we imagined back in 1995 isn't really so needed. This includes general purpose logging plugins and network drivers when there really is just the common log format, ordinary and SSL sockets. More in the core for the base HTTP processing could make things easier to maintain. -Jim On Jun 23, 2011, at 7:27 AM, Dossy Shiobara wrote: > Alternatively, instead of the driver thread tossing the connection on the > floor, it could mark the HTTP request as being truncated in some way, and > passing up to maxinput bytes through to the connection thread.
