--- Comment #1 from Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jail...@wanadoo.fr> --- Hi, see the same question a few years ago: https://lists.apache.org/thread/hr2t965lgdcb0f8vzpq2b8jh771z3m6h For apr_pstrdup() vs apr_table_setn(), I see 2 possibilities: 1) it can be a question of lifetime of the string. Most of memory allocations in httpd are done using pools which can have a different lifetimes. So sometimes it is needed to copy a string in another pool because it is needed in another context with another lifetime. 2) When apr_table_setn() is used, the string is not copied in the table, only a reference to it is stored in the table. So, if you need to modify the string, then you need to copy it first. Otherwise, the original string is modified as-well. Anyway, it is likely that some optimisation can be done.
